David O. McKay
One time or another we all face adversity's chilling wind. One man flees from it, and like an unresisting kite falls to the ground. Another yields no retreating inch, and the wind that would destroy him lifts him as readily to the heights. We are not measured by the trials we meet, only by those we overcome.
David O. McKay
True education is awakening a love for truth...opening the eyes of the soul to the great purpose and end of life.
David O. McKay
Happiness consists not of having, but of being. It is a warm glow of the heart at peace with itself.
David O. McKay
As precious as life itself is our heritage of individual freedom, for man's free agency is a God-given gift.
David O. McKay
