“I thank the Father that His Only Begotten Son did not say in defiant protest at Calvary, 'My body is my own!' I stand in admiration of women today who resist the 'fashion of abortion, by refusing to make the sacred womb a tomb!'”15.
Neal A. Maxwell -
“If the nearly one-and-a-half million babies aborted in America each year could, somehow, vote, chameleon candidates would find fresh reason to be concerned about abortion, whereas now they are unconcerned.”16.
Neal A. Maxwell -
“Ironically, as some people become harder, they use softer words to describe dark deeds. This, too, is part of being sedated by secularism. Needless abortion, for instance, is a 'reproductive health procedure, ...' 'Illegitimacy' gives way to the wholly sanitized words 'non-marital birth' or 'alternative parenting.'”17.
Neal A. Maxwell -
“The great physician, Dr. Henry G. Armitage, Jr., states, 'Not without comment shall it come to pass that a state (so fretful for the preservation of the praying mantis but holding an unborn baby to be of no account) can send a spark of immortality swinging out into limbo and conspire with citizen and physician to turn a fragile, living object of simple innocence and complex wonder into a pathetic pulp and consign it by rude and peremptory passage to the furnace or sewer — unknown, unwanted [and] undefended.' He further questions how a woman as 'the fertile adornment of our race can be deluded into the notion that she is a mere poetress of unwanted luggage or be by blandishment seduced into believing that she has dominion over life not her own.' He says, 'An abortion is never commonplace, for the world holds no heartbreak like the death of innocence.'”18.
Neal A. Maxwell -
“When we don’t like to face up to hard facts, we use soft words. We do not speak about killing a baby within the womb, but about 'termination of potential life.' Words are often multiplied to try to cover dark deeds.”19.
Neal A. Maxwell -
“All crosses are easier to carry when we keep moving.”20.
Neal A. Maxwell -
“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!”21.
Neal A. Maxwell -
“Therefore, though we have rightly applauded our ancestors for their spiritual achievements (and do not and must not discount them now), those of us who prevail today will have done no small thing. The special spirits who have been reserved to live in this time of challenges and who overcome will one day be praised for their stamina by those who pulled handcarts. Those who were righteous in other ages, when the gospel light was snuffed out, will one day commend the current members of the Church who so live that the gospel light increased in its incandescence. Those of ancient Israel who saw many signs and yet episodically relapsed will one day praise those in this dispensation who have believed "because of the word" without being compelled to be humble. (Alma 32:14.) The Lamanites who were righteous in earlier times, especially, will praise their present posterity whose righteousness is bringing a blossoming of their seed. Thus the contemporary righteous will earn the esteem of their admired predecessors. Finally, if we are faithful, even the righteous of the city of Enoch will fall upon our necks and kiss us, and we will mingle our tears with their tears! (Moses 7:63.) Let us, therefore, notwithstanding our weaknesses, be reassured that the everyday keeping of the commandments and the doing of our duties is what it is all about.”22.
Neal A. Maxwell -
“Anger should never be an overnight guest.”23.

“At the center of our agency is our freedom to form a healthy attitude toward whatever circumstances we are placed in!”24.
Neal A. Maxwell -
“Why is it that for many persons changing others is so exciting and so relevant, while changing oneself is so boring and irrelevant?”25.
Neal A. Maxwell -
“If you have not chosen the kingdom of God first, it will in the end make no difference what you have chosen instead.”
