More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell

How can you and I really expect to glide naively through life, as if to say, 'Lord, give me experience, but not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me, Lord, all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art! Then, let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share Thy joy!'
Neal A. Maxwell

Neal A. Maxwell
In Gospel grammar, death is not an exclamation point, merely a comma.
Neal A. Maxwell

Neal A. Maxwell
Good homes are still the best source of good humans.
Neal A. Maxwell
Never give up what you want most for what you want today.
