Image
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
Image
God does not begin by asking us about our ability, but only about our availability, and if we then prove our dependability, he will increase our capability.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Any assessment of where we stand in relationship to Him tells us that we do not stand at all. We kneel.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Ironically, brothers and sisters, the natural man who is so very selfish in so many ordinary ways is strangely unselfish in that he reaches for too few of the things that bring real joy. He settles for a mess of pottage instead of eternal joy.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
We are often not only to slow to get on our knees, but to quick to rise from them.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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.

Our little pebble of poor performance helps to start, or to sustain, an avalanche.

Image
I know sanctification comes not with any particular calling, but with genuine acts of service, often for which there is no specific calling.

Image
Regarding trials, including of our faith and patience, there are no exemptions-only variations.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
How myopic it is to view His ministry as all crucifixion and no resurrection!
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
If the Church were not true, our enemies would be bored rather than threatened, and acquiescent rather than anxious. Hell is moved only when things move heavenward.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Every dimension of the gospel is relevant to one or more of our social and political problems of our time.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
If we knew how often the obedience of others is affected by our own, and how often our stepping forth soon brings forth a whole platton of helpers, and how often our speaking forth soon creates a chorus - we would be even more ashamed of our slackess and our silence.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
On the straight and narrow path, there are simply no corners to be cut.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Each of us is an innkeeper who decides if there is room for Jesus!
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
It is extremely important for you to believe in yourselves, not only for what you are now, but for what you have the power to become.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
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
Image
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.

The soul is like a violin string: it makes music only when it is stretched.

One day the faithful will have it all!
