Neal A Maxwell Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

Sometimes we are so busy being the hammer or the anvil, that we forget who really needs the shaping Picture Quote #1

When great individuals move so marvelously along the straight and narrow path, it is unseemly of us to call attention to the fact that one of their shoelaces is untied as they make the journey Picture Quote #1

The authority of example and considerations of character, unlike pudding, are not whipped up in an instant Picture Quote #1

Men and Women of Christ magnify their callings without magnifying themselves Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We cannot repent for someone else. But we can forgive someone else, refusing to hold hostage those whom the Lord seeks to set free! Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The issue for us is trusting God enough to trust also His timing. If we can truly believe He has our welfare at heart, may we not let His plans unfold as He thinks best? Picture Quote #1

I find that goal setting, when done this way, leads to goal achieving. The chronic failure to achieve goals lowers self-esteem. Show me a failure to achieve a goal, and usually I can show you the violation of one or more of the above criteria. Imposed goals, vague goals, and unrealistic goals tend to produce only partial successes and outright failures Picture Quote #1

Although goal setting can clearly be overdone, only a few people are overly involved with goals and goal setting; most people do far too little goal setting, including the reflecting that precedes the setting of such goals. Too many marriages have financial goals but not other explicit goals. Yet the gospel is certainly goal-oriented Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

In one degree or another we all struggle with selfishness. Since it is so common, why worry about selfishness anyway? Because selfishness is really self-destruction in slow motion Picture Quote #1

A few little flowers will spring up briefly in the dry gulley through which torrents of water pass occasionally. But it is steady streams that bring thick and needed crops. In the agriculture of the soul that has to do with nurturing attributes, flash floods are no substitute for regular irrigation Picture Quote #1

A vague goal is no goal at all. The Ten Commandments wouldn’t be very impressive, for instance, if they weren’t specific, but simply were couched in a phraseology such as ‘thou shalt not be a bad person Picture Quote #1

I know sanctification comes not with any particular calling, but with genuine acts of service, often for which there is no specific calling Picture Quote #1

We can’t dwell upon another’s ingratitude without using up our time and talents unprofitably Picture Quote #1

It is better to trust and sometimes be disappointed than to be forever mistrusting and be right occasionally Picture Quote #1

The more seriously we work on our own imperfections, the less we are judgemental of the imperfections of others Picture Quote #1

Our God does not indulge us, but He is merciful toward our weaknesses as He strives to tutor us Picture Quote #1

When we rejoice in beautiful scenery, great art, and great music, it is but the flexing of instincts acquired in another place and another time Picture Quote #1

Sometimes we are so busy being the hammer or the anvil, that we forget who really needs the shaping Picture Quote #1

I know the celestial criteria measure service, not status; the use of our talents, not the relative size of our talent inventories. I know that Church membership is not passive security but continuing opportunity Picture Quote #1

At the center of our agency is our freedom to form a healthy attitude toward whatever circumstances we are placed in! Picture Quote #1

The mortal experience . . . is not like a college course which we can passively audit. Instead, we are taking life’s course for credit and there are no summers off - not even semester breaks Picture Quote #1

For the faithful, our finest hours are sometimes during or just following our darkest hours Picture Quote #1

Patience helps us to view imperfections in others more generously to the end that we may learn to be more wise than they have been Picture Quote #1

God’s extraordinary work is most often done by ordinary people in the seeming obscurity of a home and family Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
