Neal A. Maxwell
Image

Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Therefore, as we strive to become as the Father is and as Jesus is, we are to become more gracious and merciful, more kind and considerate. Even more, we are to do this in a world which does little to encourage such qualities of character.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Our little pebble of poor performance helps to start, or to sustain, an avalanche.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
On the straight and narrow path, there are simply no corners to be cut.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
God will facilitate, but He will not force.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
One day the faithful will have it all!
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Sometimes, if you're like me, [God] will brace or reprove in a highly personal process not understood or appreciated by those outside the context.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
The harrowing of the soul can be like the harrowing of the soil to increase the yield, things are turned upside down.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Pure religion is having the courage to do what is right and let the consequence follow.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Ultimate hope constitutes the anchor of the soul.
