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.

More quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
Love is never wasted, even if it is not reciprocated.
Neal A. Maxwell
We should not assume however, that just because something is unexplainable by us, it is unexplainable.
Neal A. Maxwell
What we insistently desire, over time, is what we become.
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
If the nearly one-and-a-half million babies aborted in America each year could, somehow, vote, chameleon candidates would find fresh reason to be concerned about abortion, whereas now they are unconcerned.
Neal A. Maxwell
Let us have integrity and not write checks with our tongues which our conduct cannot cash.
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
Celestial criteria measures service, not status.
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
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
Most of our suffering comes from sin and stupidity it is, nevertheless, very real, and growth can occur with real repentance. But the highest source of suffering appears to be reserved for the innocent who undergo divine tutorial training.
Neal A. Maxwell
Meekness, the subtraction of self, reduces the multiplication of words.
Neal A. Maxwell
There is no democracy of facts.
Neal A. Maxwell
Life is an 'open-book' exam, but the problem is that most of the students don't have the 'book', or refuse to open it-a fact that ought to spur us on as Church members to share the gospel more widely so that life would be meaningful for more people.
Neal A. Maxwell
Coming unto the Lord is not a negotiation, but a surrender.
Neal A. Maxwell
Our little pebble of poor performance helps to start, or to sustain, an avalanche.
Neal A. Maxwell
We can't dwell upon another's ingratitude without using up our time and talents unprofitably.
Neal A. Maxwell
The scriptures offer us so many doctrinal diamonds. And when the light of the Spirit plays upon their several facets, they sparkle with celestial sense and illuminate the path we are to follow.
Neal A. Maxwell
Pure religion is having the courage to do what is right and let the consequence follow.
Neal A. Maxwell
Good homes are still the best source of good humans.
Neal A. Maxwell
