More quotes by David O. McKay
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
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.
David O. McKay
True happiness comes only by making others happy.
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
I will raise my voice as long as God gives me sound or ability, against this Communistic idea that the Government will take care of us all, and everything belongs to the government. It is wrong!
David O. McKay
A girl who sacrifices self-respect for social popularity debases true womanhood. A spotless character, founded upon the ability to say no in the presence of those who mock and jeer, wins the respect and love of men and women whose opinion is most worthwhile.
David O. McKay
Always remember that a soldier's pack is lighter than a slave's chains.
David O. McKay
He who harbors hatred and bitterness injures himself far more than the one towards whom he manifests these evil propensities.
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
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
An unsatisfied appetite for knowledge means progress and is the state of a normal mind.
David O. McKay
One of my most precious possessions is my memory of a home in which love was supreme, in which I cannot recall ever a cross word having passed between father and mother. We all owe such a blessing to our children.
David O. McKay
The greatest comfort in this life is having a close relationship with God.
David O. McKay
As individuals, we must think nobler thoughts. We must not encourage vile thoughts or low aspirations. We shall radiate them if we do. If we think noble thoughts, if we encourage and cherish noble aspirations, there will be that radiation when we meet people, especially when we associate with them.
David O. McKay
Brothers and sisters, I believe that there are few, even temple workers, who comprehend the full meaning and power of the temple endowment. Seen for what it is, it is the step-by-step ascent into the Eternal Presence. If our young people could but glimpse it, it would be the most powerful spiritual motivation of their lives.
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
If you would be happy, render a kind service, make somebody else happy.
David O. McKay
Being a parent is the greatest trust that has been given to human beings.
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
I never think of death: I am too busy thinking of life.
David O. McKay
