It would be interesting...if I were to ask one of you to describe the to the satisfaction of all here the color yellow. Yellow, of course, is a primary color, but it would be difficult for you to describe it to use without comparing it with other colors. Yet you have no difficulty recognizing yellow when you see it. We know more than we can tell! Sometimes the things we know take the form of knowledge about what is happening to us in life in which we sense purpose, in which we sense divine design, but which we cannot speak about with full articulateness. There are simply moments of mute comprehension and mute certitude. We need to pay attention when these moments come to us because God often gives us the assurances we need but not necessarily the capacity to transmit these assurances to anyone else.
Neal A. Maxwell, "But For a Small Moment"
