Neal A. Maxwell quotes about
expression choices challenges
Time Management Tips: One can make a radar-like sweep of the horizon to identify time and task challenges while these are still manageable and while we still have a choice. The organizational adage, "the more parts, the more trouble," also applies to words. Multiplying words may actually multiply the probability of being misunderstood; economies in expression (without being taciturn or aloof) not only save time, but usually are more honest and more clear.
fever temperature burning
We are so busy constantly checking our own temperatures, we fail to notice the burning fevers of others.
peer-pressure world ifs
We cannot improve the world if we are conformed to the world.
surrender lord negotiation
Coming unto the Lord is not a negotiation, but a surrender.
accomplished incomparable knows
I testify that He is utterly incomparable in what He is, what He knows, what He has accomplished and what He has experienced. Yet, movingly, He calls us His Friends
unjust-criticism may ought
We may never become accustomed to untrue and unjust criticism of us but we ought not to be immobilized by it.
financial-goals people generosity
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.
routine calling competencies
A new calling can beckon us away from comfortable routine and from competencies already acquired.
imperfection needs release
The imperfections of others never release us from the need to work on our own shortcomings.
scripture
Let the scriptures refresh you.
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.
oasis water causes
Those few members who desert the cause are abandoning an oasis to search for water in the desert.
plans
Oh, how great the plan of our God!
hammers anvils needs
Sometimes we are so busy being the hammer or the anvil, that we forget who really needs the shaping.
