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
Image
The more seriously we work on our own imperfections, the less we are judgemental of the imperfections of others.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
If another person only had in his storehouse of deserved self-esteem what you had put there, what would he have to draw upon and to sustain him?
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
In contrast to the path of selfishness, there is no room for road rage on the straight and narrow way.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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.

Meanwhile, spiritual submissiveness brings about the wiser use of our time, talents, and gifts as compared with our laboring diligently but conditionally to establish our own righteousness instead of the Lord's (D&C 1:16). After all, Lucifer was willing to work very hard, but conditionally in his own way and for his own purposes.

Image
Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.
Neal A. Maxwell

Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Pray for me to learn quickly what I need to learn.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Consecration thus constitutes the only unconditional surrender which is also a total victory!
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
How could there be refining fires without our enduring some heat?
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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
Image
Let us have integrity and not write checks with our tongues which our conduct cannot cash.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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
Image
Satan delights to have us put ourselves down. Self-contempt is of Satan. There is no such thing in heaven.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Real disciples absorb the fiery darts of the adversary by holding aloft the quenching shield of faith with one hand, while holding to the iron rod with the other (see Eph. 6:16 1 Ne. 15:24 D&C 27:17). There should be no mistaking it will take both hands!
