David O. McKay
The real test of any church or religion is the kind of men it makes.
David O. McKay
Friendship is a sacred possession. As air, water and sunshine to flowers, trees and verdure, so smiles, sympathy and love of friends to the daily life of man. To live, laugh, love one's friends, and be loved by them is to bask in the sunshine of life.
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
Always remember that a soldier's pack is lighter than a slave's chains.
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
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
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
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
Everyone is possessed with an irresistible desire to know his relationship to the Infinite.
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
True education is awakening a love for truth...opening the eyes of the soul to the great purpose and end of life.
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
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
Anger itself does more harm than the condition which aroused anger.
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
I never think of death: I am too busy thinking of life.
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
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
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
