More quotes by David O. McKay
If we would change the world, we must first change people's thoughts.
David O. McKay
I repeat that no greater immediate responsibility rests upon members of the Church, upon all citizens of this republic and of neighboring republics than to protect the freedom vouchsafed by the Constitution of the United States.
David O. McKay
The latest I like to be to meeting is 15 minutes early
David O. McKay
A man may act as his conscience dictates so long as he does not infringe upon the rights of others. That is the spirit of true democracy, and all government by the Priesthood should be actuated by that same high motive.
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
Sincere prayer implies that when we ask for any virtue or blessing, we should work for the blessing and cultivate the virtue.
David O. McKay
In choosing a companion, it is necessary to study the disposition, the inheritance, and training of the one with whom you are contemplating making life’s journey.
David O. McKay
The Constitution of this government was written by men who accepted Jesus Christ as the Savior of mankind. Let men and women in these United States then continue to keep their eyes centered upon Him who ever shines as a Light to all the world.
David O. McKay
If our young people could but glimpse it, it would be the most powerful spiritual motivation of their lives!
David O. McKay
Children are more influenced by sermons you act than by sermons you preach.
David O. McKay
True happiness comes only by making others happy.
David O. McKay
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
Man's earthly existence is but a test as to whether he will concentrate his efforts, his mind, his soul upon things which contribute to the comfort and gratification of his physical instincts and passions, or whether he will make as his life's end and purpose the acquisition of spiritual qualities
David O. McKay
The seeds of a happy marriage are sown in youth. Happiness does not begin at the altar it begins during the period of youth and courtship.
David O. McKay
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.
David O. McKay
There are seeds of happiness planted in every human soul. Our mental attitude and disposition constitute the environment in which these seeds may germinate.
David O. McKay
Youth need guidance, direction, and proper restraint...Parents, too, have a responsibility in this training not to provoke children to wrath. They should be considerate not to irritate by vexatious commands or place unreasonable blame. Whenever possible they should give encouragement rather than remonstrance or reproof.
David O. McKay
No man can sincerely resolve to apply to his daily life the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth without sensing a change in his own nature. The phrase, 'born again', has a deeper significance than many people attach to it. This changed feeling may be indescribable, but it is real.
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
An unsatisfied appetite for knowledge means progress and is the state of a normal mind.
David O. McKay
