Neal A. Maxwell

Top 10 Best Quotes

“Perfect love is perfectly patient.”

“We, more than others, should carry jumper and tow cables not only in our cars, but also in our hearts, by which means we can send the needed boost or charge of encouragement or the added momentum to mortal neighbors.”

“The true Christian is a communicator.”

“We could not learn love in the abstract any more than we could learn patience and the other cardinal virtues. Just as we cannot know the "fellowship of his sufferings" without suffering, we also come to know real fellowship with our fellowmen only by serving them.”

“[Speaking on not always understanding the counsel of God's prophets, nor finding it easy to take] ... even though it is true that there must be an "opposition in all things," none of us has the personal obligation to provide that opposition.”

“When we "pass by" others and "notice them not," a degree of deprivation occurs. (Mormon 8:39.)”

“We are often actually less generous with our time than with our money.”

“Perhaps our difficulties with receiving justified reproof stem from out thinking of love as being all sweetness. Love surely includes sweetness. But love must sometimes be tough love, sinew as well as sweetness. So it is with loving communication, also.”

“One of the ways, therefore, we will be "proved herewith" is our determination as to whether or not we love others enough to give and to receive such vital communications.

Are not the people proximate to us our tiny portion of humanity, given to us by God as our social stewardship?”

“Never have so many been schooled so much as to their rights while, at the same time, being taught that there are no behavioral wrongs. If we can but realize that Satan is selfishness at the end of its journey, then we can see where our selfish society is headed.”
