More quotes by David O. McKay
True happiness comes only by making others happy.
David O. McKay
Man's earthly existence is but a test as to whether he will concentrate his efforts, his mind, his soul upon things which contribute to the comfort and gratification of his physical instincts and passions, or whether he will make as his life's end and purpose the acquisition of spiritual qualities
David O. McKay
Happiness consists not of having, but of being. It is a warm glow of the heart at peace with itself.
David O. McKay
The true purpose of life is the perfection of humanity through individual effort, under the guidance of God's inspiration.
David O. McKay
The world is hungry to hear the truth. ... We have it. Are we equal to the task-to the responsibility God has placed upon us?
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
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
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
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
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
If we would change the world, we must first change people's thoughts.
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
That home is most beautiful in which you find each person striving to serve the other.
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
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
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
The Constitution of this government was written by men who accepted Jesus Christ as the Savior of mankind. Let men and women in these United States then continue to keep their eyes centered upon Him who ever shines as a Light to all the world.
David O. McKay
Children are more influenced by sermons you act than by sermons you preach.
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
There is no success which can compensate for the failure of the family.
David O. McKay
