“In the economy of Heaven, God does not send thunder if a still, small voice is enough, or a prophet if a priest can do the job.”
― Neal A. Maxwell

“A persistent preoccupation with "freedom of speech" to the neglect of other freedoms can diminish the shelter available for religion and other precious freedoms. The intertwining of all our freedoms is greater than we realize. . . . It may be true . . . that the people of Sodom and Gomorrah had absolute free speech, but did they have anything worth saying?”
― Neal A. Maxwell, Moving in His Majesty and Power

“Permissiveness cannot sustain true liberty for long. . . . In Sodom they probably had absolute free speech, but nothing worth saying! On the other hand, an otherwise permissive society, which tolerates almost everything, usually will not tolerate speech that challenges its iniquity. Evil is always intolerantly preoccupied with its own perpetuation.”
― Neal A. Maxwell, That ye may believe

“God does not begin by asking our ability, but more of our availability. When we prove our dependability, He will in crease our capability.”
― Neal A. Maxwell
