More quotes by 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
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
Among the immediate obligations and duties resting upon members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints today, and one of the most urgent and pressing for attention and action of all liberty loving people, is the preservation of individual liberty.
David O. McKay
True happiness comes only by making others happy.
David O. McKay
I never think of death: I am too busy thinking of life.
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
That home is most beautiful in which you find each person striving to serve the other.
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
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
The greatest comfort in this life is having a close relationship with God.
David O. McKay
True liberty in individuals consists in the enjoying of every right that will contribute to one's peace and happiness, so long as the exercise of such a privilege does not interfere with the same privilege in others.
David O. McKay
[Liberty] is freedom of choice, a divine gift, an essential virtue in a peaceful society.
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
As long as the day lasts, let's give it all we got.
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
To be ignorant of one's own ignorance is to be in an unprogressive, uninspired state of existence.
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
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
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
