Neal A. Maxwell quotes about
light play path
The scriptures offer us so many doctrinal diamonds. And when the light of the Spirit plays upon their several facets, they sparkle with celestial sense and illuminate the path we are to follow.
light flames pilots
The flame of family can warm us and at the same time be a perpetual pilot light to rekindle us.
light unbroken green
A basic cause of murmuring is that too many of us seem to expect that life will flow ever smoothly, featuring an unbroken chain of green lights with empty parking places just in front of our destinations!.
anger light heat
Letting off steam always produces more heat than light.
children light helping
If we spent as much time lifting our children as we do criticizing them, how effectively we could help them to see themselves in a more positive light!
men light illumination
Men's and nations' finest hour consist of those moments when extraordinary challenge is met by extraordinary response. Hence in those darkest hours, we must light our individual candles rather than vying with others to call attention to the enveloping darkness. Our indignation about injustice should lead to illumination, for if it does not, we are only adding to the despair-and the moment of gravest danger is when there is so little light that darkness seems normal!
sea lemmings proud
Many of those engaged in a lemming-like march to the sea are proud of their individualism.
asking begin god increase
God does not begin by asking our ability, only our availability, and if we prove our dependability, He will increase our capability.
home parent police
As parenting declines, the need for policing increases. There will always be a shortage of police if there is a shortage of effective parents! Likewise, there will not be enough prisons if there are not enough good homes.
spiritual work economic
Even if work were not an economic necessity, it is a spiritual necessity.
doctrine repentance
Repentance is a rescuing, not a dour, doctrine.
rudeness patience-love meekness
Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.
life-lesson past soul
There are also flat periods in life which may well be the periods during which-before new lessons come- the past lessons of life are allowed to seep, quietly and deeply, into the marrow of the soul. These outwardly flat periods, when enduring well may not seem very purposeful,, are probably the times when needed attitudinal alignments are quietly occurring.
jesus agony generosity
So often our sisters comfort others when their own needs are greater than those being comforted. That quality is like the generosity of Jesus on the cross. Empathy during agony is a portion of divinity!
