As long as the day lasts, let's give it all we got.
David O. McKay
True happiness comes only by making others happy.
David O. McKay

David O. McKay

David O. McKay
The rising sun can dispel the darkness of night, but it cannot banish the blackness of malice, hatred, bigotry, and selfishness from the hearts of humanity.
David O. McKay
Youth need guidance, direction, and proper restraint...Parents, too, have a responsibility in this training not to provoke children to wrath. They should be considerate not to irritate by vexatious commands or place unreasonable blame. Whenever possible they should give encouragement rather than remonstrance or reproof.

David O. McKay
Pleasure is not the purpose of man's existence. Joy is.
David O. McKay
Slander is poison to the soul.
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
Everyone is possessed with an irresistible desire to know his relationship to the Infinite.
David O. McKay
If you would be happy, render a kind service, make somebody else happy.
David O. McKay
I believe that only through a truly educated citizenry can the ideals that inspired the Founding Fathers of our nation be preserved and perpetuated.

David O. McKay
