More quotes by 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
Every noble impulse, every unselfish expression of love, every surrender of self to something higher than self, every loyalty to an ideal, every fine courage of the soul – by doing good for good’s sake – that is spirituality. –
David O. McKay
Trust is greater than love.
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
No parent can consistently teach faith in Christ who profanes the name of Deity. Profanity is never heard in the well-ordered home. Swearing is a vice that bespeaks a low standard of breeding. Blasphemous exclamations drive out all spirit of reverence.
David O. McKay
Pleasure is not the purpose of man's existence. Joy is.
David O. McKay
To be ignorant of one's own ignorance is to be in an unprogressive, uninspired state of existence.
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
There is no success which can compensate for the failure of the family.
David O. McKay
True happiness comes only by making others happy.
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
[Liberty] is freedom of choice, a divine gift, an essential virtue in a peaceful society.
David O. McKay
If you would be happy, render a kind service, make somebody else happy.
David O. McKay
Always remember that a soldier's pack is lighter than a slave's chains.
David O. McKay
I never think of death: I am too busy thinking of life.
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
As precious as life itself is our heritage of individual freedom, for man's free agency is a God-given gift.
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
Next to the bestowal of life itself, the right to direct that life is God's greatest gift to man.
David O. McKay
The purpose of the church is to make bad men good and good men better.
David O. McKay
