More quotes by 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
The scriptures offer us so many doctrinal diamonds. And when the light of the Spirit plays upon their several facets, they sparkle with celestial sense and illuminate the path we are to follow.
Neal A. Maxwell
Faith in God includes Faith in God's timing.
Neal A. Maxwell
Our journey is demanding enough that the need for reassurance as well as reminders is constant.
Neal A. Maxwell
Real hope is much more than wishful musing. It stiffens, not slackens, the spiritual spine.
Neal A. Maxwell
It is not the years but the changes that make us grow.
Neal A. Maxwell
I testify that He is utterly incomparable in what He is, what He knows, what He has accomplished and what He has experienced. Yet, movingly, He calls us His Friends
Neal A. Maxwell
Patience is...clearly not fatalistic, shoulder-shrugging resignation. It is the acceptance of a divine rhythm to life it is obedience prolonged. Patience stoutly resists pulling up the daisies to see how the roots are doing.
Neal A. Maxwell
Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
Mother lode of learning.
Neal A. Maxwell
Life is an 'open-book' exam, but the problem is that most of the students don't have the 'book', or refuse to open it-a fact that ought to spur us on as Church members to share the gospel more widely so that life would be meaningful for more people.
Neal A. Maxwell
Sometimes we are so busy being the hammer or the anvil, that we forget who really needs the shaping.
Neal A. Maxwell
We are in bondage to that which overcomes us. See also 2 Peter 2:19.
Neal A. Maxwell
When we are unduly impatient with an omniscient God's timing, we really are suggesting that we know what's best. Strange isn't it-we who wear wrist watches seek to counsel Him who oversees cosmic clocks and calendars.
Neal A. Maxwell
Personal, spiritual symmetry emerges only from the shaping of prolonged obedience. Twigs are bent, not snapped into shape.
Neal A. Maxwell
We can hold to the iron rod even if others slip away and a few end up mocking us from the great and spacious building.
Neal A. Maxwell
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
Our God does not indulge us, but He is merciful toward our weaknesses as He strives to tutor us.
Neal A. Maxwell
The gross size of our talent inventories is less important than the net use of our talents?
Neal A. Maxwell
