David O. McKay
No other success can compensate for failure in the home. The poorest shack in which love prevails over a united family is of greater value to God and future humanity that any other riches. In such a home God can work miracles and will work miracles.
David O. McKay
The most powerful thing in the world is an idea.
David O. McKay
