Neal A. Maxwell quotes about
light flames pilots
The flame of family can warm us and at the same time be a perpetual pilot light to rekindle us.
democracy facts
There is no democracy of facts.
moving journey attention
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.
important use inventory
The gross size of our talent inventories is less important than the net use of our talents?
temptation entertaining ifs
If we entertain temptations, soon they begin entertaining us!
character example pudding
The authority of example and considerations of character, unlike pudding, are not whipped up in an instant.
opportunity people age
We...live in a world that is too prone to the tasteless, and we need to provide an opportunity to cultivate a taste for the finest music. And, likewise, we’re in a world that’s so attuned to the now that we need to permit people to be more attuned to the best music of all ages.

Defectors often cause more difficulty than disinterested disbelievers.
self-esteem heaven delight
Satan delights to have us put ourselves down. Self-contempt is of Satan. There is no such thing in heaven.
faith faithful one-day
One day the faithful will have it all!
lasts doctrine devotion
The doctrine of foreordination is not a doctrine of repose; instead, it is a doctrine for second- and third-milers, and it will draw out of them the last full measure of devotion. It is a doctrine for the deep believer but it will bring only scorn from the skeptic.
being-there lord careless
Even the good can become careless without the Lord's being there to chasten.
leader challenges excellence
The unwillingness of most leaders to set standards, to administer feedback when standards are not met, to praise clearly when standards are met, stands in the way of the development of excellence. The leader who makes no demands of his disciples cannot really lead them at all. The sense of new excitement and new challenge generated by the gospel will be blunted by leaders who shield followers from the full demands of fellowship.
agony empathy divinity
Empathy during agony is a portion of divinity.
