Today, as never before, the issue is clearly defined-liberty and freedom of choice, or oppression and subjugation for the individual and for nations.
David O. McKay
Image
True happiness comes only by making others happy—the practical application of the Savior's doctrine of losing one's life to gain it. In short, the Christmas spirit is the Christ spirit, that makes our hearts glow in brotherly love and friendship and prompts us to kind deeds of service.

Slander is poison to the soul.
David O. McKay

The world is hungry to hear the truth. ... We have it. Are we equal to the task-to the responsibility God has placed upon us?
David O. McKay
Image
The young man who closes the door behind him, who draws the curtains, and there in silence pleads with God for help, should first pour out his soul in gratitude for health, for friends, for loved ones, for the gospel, for the manifestations of God's existence. He should first count his many blessings and name them one by one.

The greatest comfort in this life is having a close relationship with God.
David O. McKay
Image
I never think of death: I am too busy thinking of life.
David O. McKay
Image
Men may yearn for peace, cry for peace, and work for peace, but there will be no peace until they follow the path pointed out by the Living Christ. He is the true light of men's lives.
David O. McKay
Image
Every noble impulse, every unselfish expression of love, every surrender of self to something higher than self, every loyalty to an ideal, every fine courage of the soul – by doing good for good’s sake – that is spirituality. –

Out of the homes of America will come the future citizens of America, and only as those homes are what they should be will this nation be what it should be.
