Image
Ultimate hope constitutes the anchor of the soul.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Trials and tribulations tend to squeeze the artificiality out of us, leaving the essence of what we really are and clarifying what we really yearn for.

In Gospel grammar, death is not an exclamation point, merely a comma.
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
Image
Conscience warns us not to sink our cleats too deeply in mortal turf, which is so dangerously artificial.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Our little pebble of poor performance helps to start, or to sustain, an avalanche.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Let us have integrity and not write checks with our tongues which our conduct cannot cash.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
God's extraordinary work is most often done by ordinary people in the seeming obscurity of a home and family.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Education brightens a darkened world.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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

Good homes are still the best source of good humans.
