More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
The more seriously we work on our own imperfections, the less we are judgemental of the imperfections of others.
Neal A. Maxwell
God's extraordinary work is most often done by ordinary people in the seeming obscurity of a home and family.
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
It is possible to know when, at least basically, we please God. In fact, Joseph Smith taught that one of the conditions of genuine faith is to have an actual knowledge that the course of life which [one] is pursuing is according to [God's] will.
Neal A. Maxwell
We are often not only to slow to get on our knees, but to quick to rise from them.
Neal A. Maxwell
When at length we tire of putting people down, this self-inflicted fatigue can give way to the invigorating calisthenics of lifting people up.
Neal A. Maxwell
The great challenge is to refuse to let the bad things that happen to us do bad things to us. That is the crucial difference between adversity and tragedy.
Neal A. Maxwell
When, as President Joseph F. Smith said, we catch a spark from the awakened memories of the immortal soul, let us be quietly grateful. When of great truths we can say I know, that powerful spiritual witness may also carry with it the sense of our having known before. With rediscovery, we are really saying I know - again!
Neal A. Maxwell
Our little pebble of poor performance helps to start, or to sustain, an avalanche.
Neal A. Maxwell
The soul is like a violin string: it makes music only when it is stretched.
Neal A. Maxwell
As we come closer to Him, we not only stand all amazed-we even kneel all amazed!
Neal A. Maxwell
The authority of example and considerations of character, unlike pudding, are not whipped up in an instant.
Neal A. Maxwell
The gross size of our talent inventories is less important than the net use of our talents?
Neal A. Maxwell
True discipleship is for volunteers only. Only volunteers will trust the Guide sufficiently to follow Him in the dangerous ascent which only He can lead.
Neal A. Maxwell
Coming unto the Lord is not a negotiation, but a surrender.
Neal A. Maxwell
We...live in a world that is too prone to the tasteless, and we need to provide an opportunity to cultivate a taste for the finest music. And, likewise, we’re in a world that’s so attuned to the now that we need to permit people to be more attuned to the best music of all ages.
Neal A. Maxwell
The charity of good women is such that their 'love makes no parade' they are not glad 'when others go wrong' they are too busy serving to sit statusfully about, waiting to be offended.
Neal A. Maxwell
I thank the Father that His Only Begotten Son did not say in defiant protest at Calvary, My body is my own! I stand in admiration of women today who resist the fashion of abortion, by refusing to make the sacred womb a tomb!
Neal A. Maxwell
Obviously, family values mirror our personal priorities. Given the gravity of current conditions, would parents be willing to give up just one outside thing, giving that time and talent instead to the family.
Neal A. Maxwell
Any assessment of where we stand in relationship to Him tells us that we do not stand at all. We kneel.
Neal A. Maxwell
