More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
Regarding trials, including of our faith and patience, there are no exemptions-only variations.
Neal A. Maxwell
Why is it that for many persons changing others is so exciting and so relevant, while changing oneself is so boring and irrelevant?
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
Every dimension of the gospel is relevant to one or more of our social and political problems of our time.
Neal A. Maxwell
You rock a sobbing child without wondering if today's world is passing you by, because you know you hold tomorrow tightly in your arms.
Neal A. Maxwell
Those who do too much for their children will soon find they can do nothing with their children. So many children have been so much done for they are almost done in.
Neal A. Maxwell
We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count.
Neal A. Maxwell
Mother lode of learning.
Neal A. Maxwell
In Gospel grammar, death is not an exclamation point, merely a comma.
Neal A. Maxwell
The submission of one's will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God's altar. The many other things we 'give' are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.
Neal A. Maxwell
Time is clearly not our natural dimension. Thus it is that we are never really at home in time. Alternately, we find ourselves wishing to hasten the passage of time or to hold back the dawn. We can do neither, of course, but whereas the fish is at home in water, we are clearly not at home in time--because we belong to eternity.
Neal A. Maxwell
Men and Women of Christ magnify their callings without magnifying themselves.
Neal A. Maxwell
Though we live in a failing world, we have not been sent here to fail.
Neal A. Maxwell
It is only by yielding to God that we can begin to realize His will for us. And if we truly trust God, why not yield to His loving omniscience? After all, He knows us and our possibilities much better than do we.
Neal A. Maxwell
We are in bondage to that which overcomes us. See also 2 Peter 2:19.
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 must endure the contempt of others without reciprocating that contempt.
Neal A. Maxwell
Trying to observe the slow shift from self-centeredness to empathy is like trying to watch grass grow.
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
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. After all, if you've got only one Abraham Lincoln, you'd better put him in that point in history when he's most needed-much as some of us might like to have him now.
Neal A. Maxwell
