Neal A. Maxwell

Neal A. Maxwell
Love is never wasted, even if it is not reciprocated.
Neal A. Maxwell

Neal A. Maxwell
The more quickly we loosen our grip on the things of the world the more firmly we can take hold of the things of eternity.
Neal A. Maxwell
We, more than others, should carry jumper and tow cables not only in our cars, but also in our hearts, by which means we can send the needed boost or charge of encouragement or the added momentum to mortal neighbors.
Neal A. Maxwell
Those who turn against the Church do so to play to their own private gallery, but when, one day, the applause has died down and the cheering has stopped, they will face a smaller audience, the judgment bar of God.
Neal A. Maxwell
The imperfections of others never release us from the need to work on our own shortcomings.
Neal A. Maxwell
Pure religion is having the courage to do what is right and let the consequence follow.
Neal A. Maxwell
If the Church were not true, our enemies would be bored rather than threatened, and acquiescent rather than anxious. Hell is moved only when things move heavenward.
Neal A. Maxwell
Perfect love is perfectly patient.
Neal A. Maxwell
Faith in God includes Faith in God's timing.
