More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
Perfect love is perfectly patient.
Neal A. Maxwell
God is very serious about joy in the lives of His children.
Neal A. Maxwell
There will be many fine and wonderful men and women of all races and creeds-and of no religious creeds at all-who will lead decent and useful lives.
Neal A. Maxwell
Ironically, as some people become harder, they use softer words to describe dark deeds. This, too, is part of being sedated by secularism. Needless abortion, for instance, is a reproductive health procedure, . . . Illegitimacy gives way to the wholly sanitized words non-marital birth or alternative parenting.
Neal A. Maxwell
Our inspired Constitution is wisely designed to protect from excesses of political power, but it can do little to protect us from the excesses of appetite or from individual indifference to great principles or institutions. Any significant unraveling of the moral fiber of the American people, therefore, finally imperils the Constitution.
Neal A. Maxwell
Consecration thus constitutes the only unconditional surrender which is also a total victory!
Neal A. Maxwell
The good life is the best preparation for bad times.
Neal A. Maxwell
Mercy can purge the soul of sin, making room for a fresh start. Truth is vital in order that we have an unvarying standard by which to determine what we are to be and to do and what we are to rid ourselves of. All the cardinal virtues, therefore, carry their own intrinsic as well as outward reward. A merciful man does do good to his own soul.
Neal A. Maxwell
Personal, spiritual symmetry emerges only from the shaping of prolonged obedience. Twigs are bent, not snapped into shape.
Neal A. Maxwell
Faith in God includes Faith in God's timing.
Neal A. Maxwell
Truly we work and live on a streetful of splendid people, whom we are to love and serve even if they are uninterested in us!
Neal A. Maxwell
For some Church members the Book of Mormon remains unread. Others use it occasionally as if it were merely a handy book of quotations. Still others accept and read it but do not really explore and ponder it. The book is to be feasted upon, not nibbled (see 2 Nephi 31:20).
Neal A. Maxwell
Daily hope is vital, since the ‘Winter Quarters’ of our lives are not immediately adjacent to our promised land either. An arduous trek still awaits, but hope spurs weary disciples on.
Neal A. Maxwell
Joshua didn't say choose you next year whom you will serve he spoke of this day, while there is still daylight and before the darkness becomes more and more normal.
Neal A. Maxwell
What we insistently desire, over time, is what we become.
Neal A. Maxwell
Selfishness is much more than an ordinary problem because it activates all the cardinal sins! It is the detonator in the breaking of the Ten Commandments.
Neal A. Maxwell
All crosses are easier to carry when we keep moving.
Neal A. Maxwell
One day the faithful will have it all!
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 flame of family can warm us and at the same time be a perpetual pilot light to rekindle us.
