More quotes by David O. McKay
The most powerful thing in the world is an idea.
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
Men and women who live in America...have a responsibility greater than that yet borne by any other people. Theirs the duty, the obligation to preserve not only the Constitution of the land but the Christian principles from which sprang that immortal document.
David O. McKay
Motherhood is the one thing in all the world which most truly exemplifies the God-given virtues of creating and sacrificing. Though it carries the woman close to the brink of death, motherhood also leads her into the very realm of the fountains of life and makes her co-partner with the Creator in bestowing upon eternal spirits mortal life.
David O. McKay

David O. McKay
The kind of life you live, your disposition, your very nature, will be determined by your thoughts, of which your acts are but the outward expression. Thought is the seed of action.
David O. McKay

David O. McKay
Next to being one in worshipping God there is nothing in this world upon which the Church should be more united that in upholding and defending the Constitution of the United States
David O. McKay
If you would be happy, render a kind service, make somebody else happy.
David O. McKay
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.
David O. McKay
That home is most beautiful in which you find each person striving to serve the other.
David O. McKay
An unsatisfied appetite for knowledge means progress and is the state of a normal mind.
David O. McKay
The rising sun can dispel the darkness of night, but it cannot banish the blackness of malice, hatred, bigotry, and selfishness from the hearts of humanity.
David O. McKay
Everyone is possessed with an irresistible desire to know his relationship to the Infinite.
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
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
To be ignorant of one's own ignorance is to be in an unprogressive, uninspired state of existence.
David O. McKay
This is the number one responsibility of the Latter-day Saints - to get in the struggle to preserve freedom. Everywhere that Communism succeeds, missionary work, temple work, everything the Church does, dies. Your number one responsibility is to preserve freedom.
David O. McKay
The real test of any church or religion is the kind of men it makes.
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
