“It takes faith, too, and obedience, to conquer selfishness, that unsubmissive characteristic which, if unchecked, produces profound personal melancholy and solitariness. Selfishness is a form of self-worship, and we have been told, "Thou shalt have no other Gods before me" (Exodus 20:3).”
― Neal A. Maxwell, Not My Will, but Thine

“Do we always know what consequences flow from certain decisions? Many times, not. Part of living consists of learning, personally and vicariously, what actions produce what consequences. When we govern ourselves by correct principles, we also govern our consequences.
As men "act according to their wills," there are consequences, good and bad. Part of maturing spiritually is to realize this. One of the great virtues of meekness is making allowance for the fact that God does know best. Trusting him and trusting his principles is an act of high intelligence.”
― Neal A. Maxwell, But for a Small Moment

“Patience is a willingness, in a sense, to watch the unfolding purposes of God with a sense of wonder and awe, rather than pacing up and down within the cell of our circumstance.”
― Neal A. Maxwell

“While weak hope leaves us at the mercy of our moods and events, ‘brightness of hopeâ€� produces illuminated individuals. Their luminosity is seen, and things are also seen by it!”
― Neal A. Maxwell
