More quotes by David O. McKay
Slander is poison to the soul.
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
What you think about when you don't think, shows who you really are.
David O. McKay
If you would be happy, render a kind service, make somebody else happy.
David O. McKay
The latest I like to be to meeting is 15 minutes early
David O. McKay
Happiness and peace will come to earth only as the light of love and human compassion enter the souls of men.
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
Pleasure is not the purpose of man's existence. Joy is.
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
I believe that only through a truly educated citizenry can the ideals that inspired the Founding Fathers of our nation be preserved and perpetuated.
David O. McKay
Be thankful that sometimes God lets you struggle for a long time before that answer comes. Your character will grow your faith will increase. There is a relationship between these two: the greater your faith, the stronger your character, and increased character enhances your ability to exercise even greater faith.
David O. McKay
The real test of any church or religion is the kind of men it makes.
David O. McKay
When a Father takes the child by the hand, he takes the Mother by the Heart.... The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
David O. McKay
All men who have moved the world have been men who would stand true to their conscience.
David O. McKay
As with companions so with books. We may choose those which will make us better, more intelligent, more appreciative of the good and the beautiful in the world, or we may choose the trashy, the vulgar, the obscene, which will make us feel as though we've been 'wallowing in the mire.
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
Only to the extent that men desire peace and brotherhood can the world be made better. No peace even though temporarily obtained, will be permanent, whether to individuals or nations, unless it is built upon the solid foundation of eternal principles.
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
If we would change the world, we must first change people's thoughts.
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
