More Quotes by Neal A. Maxwell

It is the only possession which is truly ours to give!
Faith in God includes Faith in God's timing.
We cannot lead or draw others to Christ unless we stand closer to Him than they do.
Never give up what you want most for what you want today.
We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count.
The great challenge is to refuse to let the bad things that happen to us do bad things to us. That is the crucial difference between adversity and tragedy.
Time is clearly not our natural dimension. Thus it is that we are never really at home in time. Alternately, we find ourselves wishing to hasten the passage of time or to hold back the dawn. We can do neither, of course, but whereas the fish is at home in water, we are clearly not at home in time--because we belong to eternity.
