Neal A. Maxwell quotes about
matter firsts kingdoms
If the kingdom of God is not first, it doesn't matter what's second.
father lds soul
God, as a loving Father, will stretch our souls at times. The soul is like a violin string: it makes music only when it is stretched. . . . God will tutor us by trying us because He loves us, not because of indifference!
winter land spurs
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.
jesus son scripture
When one comes to know God and His Son Jesus Christ through the scriptures, the Spirit, and personal revelation, it is impossible to feel anything other than overwhelmed by the attributes so perfectly developed in them and so tentatively and superficially developed in oneself. Even so, we are told to strive to become like them.
fever temperature burning
We are so busy constantly checking our own temperatures, we fail to notice the burning fevers of others.
fruit each-day commandments
Each day I see all about me the fruits of commandment-keeping.
intelligent insightful easy
It is so easy to be confrontive without being informative; indignant without being intelligent; impulsive without being insightful.
world failing
Though we live in a failing world, we have not been sent here to fail.
self subtraction meekness
Meekness, the subtraction of self, reduces the multiplication of words.
laughter loneliness lds
The laughter of the world is merely loneliness pathetically trying to reassure itself.
peer-pressure world ifs
We cannot improve the world if we are conformed to the world.
exclamation-points grammar exclamation
In Gospel grammar, death is not an exclamation point, merely a comma.
surrender lord negotiation
Coming unto the Lord is not a negotiation, but a surrender.
watches calendars strange
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.
