More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
I assume, gladly, that in the allocation to America of remarkable leaders like Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln, the Lord was just as careful.

Neal A. Maxwell
No love is ever wasted. Its worth does not lie in reciprocity.
Neal A. Maxwell
A friend of mine who passed through a most severe trial, when I discussed it with him, he said simply, if it’s fair, it isn’t a trial.
Neal A. Maxwell
We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count.
Neal A. Maxwell

Neal A. Maxwell
The acceptance of the reality that we are in the Lord's loving hands is only a recognition that we have never really been anywhere else.
Neal A. Maxwell
Mother lode of learning.
Neal A. Maxwell
If the nearly one-and-a-half million babies aborted in America each year could, somehow, vote, chameleon candidates would find fresh reason to be concerned about abortion, whereas now they are unconcerned.
Neal A. Maxwell
Ironically, brothers and sisters, the natural man who is so very selfish in so many ordinary ways is strangely unselfish in that he reaches for too few of the things that bring real joy. He settles for a mess of pottage instead of eternal joy.
Neal A. Maxwell
If we knew how often the obedience of others is affected by our own, and how often our stepping forth soon brings forth a whole platton of helpers, and how often our speaking forth soon creates a chorus - we would be even more ashamed of our slackess and our silence.
Neal A. Maxwell
I am as I am, And so is a stone Them that don't like me, Must leave me alone.
Neal A. Maxwell
Conscience warns us not to sink our cleats too deeply in mortal turf, which is so dangerously artificial.
Neal A. Maxwell
Sometimes we are so busy being the hammer or the anvil, that we forget who really needs the shaping.
