We...live in a world that is too prone to the tasteless, and we need to provide an opportunity to cultivate a taste for the finest music. And, likewise, weโre in a world thatโs so attuned to the now that we need to permit people to be more attuned to the best music of all ages.
Neal A. MaxwellWhy is it that for many persons changing others is so exciting and so relevant, while changing oneself is so boring and irrelevant?
Neal A. MaxwellIronically, 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."
Neal A. MaxwellJust as doubt, despair, and desensitization go together, so do faith, hope, and charity. The latter, however, must be carefully and constantly nurtured, whereas despair, like dandelions, needs so little encouragement to sprout and spread. Despair comes so naturally to the natural man!
