Neal A. Maxwell quotes about
forgiveness journey needs
Our journey is demanding enough that the need for reassurance as well as reminders is constant.
courage chasms pure
Pure religion is having the courage to do what is right and let the consequence follow.
criteria celestial
Celestial criteria measures service, not status.
christmas stars children
Long ago when a child lay in a manger, a special star appeared. It didn't just show up that evening. It had to have been placed in its orbit centuries before in a trajectory that would make it appear at that special moment of time to announce the birth of a special child. Just as there is divine design in the universe, so each of us has been placed in our own orbits in this life to love, to serve, to help light the world.
scripture
Let the scriptures refresh you.
adversity commitment blow
The winds of tribulation, which blow out some men's candles of commitment, only fan the fires of faith of others.
moral-fiber people political
Our inspired Constitution is wisely designed to protect from excesses of political power, but it can do little to protect us from the excesses of appetite or from individual indifference to great principles or institutions. Any significant unraveling of the moral fiber of the American people, therefore, finally imperils the Constitution.
world eternity
The more quickly we loosen our grip on the things of the world the more firmly we can take hold of the things of eternity.
prayer amazed
As we come closer to Him, we not only "stand all amazed"-we even kneel all amazed!
rudeness patience-love meekness
Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.
littles avalanches pebbles
Our little pebble of poor performance helps to start, or to sustain, an avalanche.
oasis water causes
Those few members who desert the cause are abandoning an oasis to search for water in the desert.
spring flower agriculture
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.
good-life preparation life-is
The good life is the best preparation for bad times.
