More quotes by David O. McKay
True happiness comes only by making others happy.
David O. McKay
The seeds of a happy marriage are sown in youth. Happiness does not begin at the altar it begins during the period of youth and courtship.
David O. McKay
That home is most beautiful in which you find each person striving to serve the other.
David O. McKay
There should be no yelling in the home unless there is a fire.
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
Children are more influenced by sermons you act than by sermons you preach.
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
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
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
I never think of death: I am too busy thinking of life.
David O. McKay
President David O. McKay (1873-1970) observed that too many couples come to marriage looking upon the marriage ceremony as the end of courtship instead of the beginning of an eternal courtship. ... Love can be starved to death as literally as the body that receives no sustenance. Love feeds upon kindness and courtesy
David O. McKay
Happiness and peace will come to earth only as the light of love and human compassion enter the souls of men.
David O. McKay
I repeat that no greater immediate responsibility rests upon members of the Church, upon all citizens of this republic and of neighboring republics than to protect the freedom vouchsafed by the Constitution of the United States.
David O. McKay
The most powerful thing in the world is an idea.
David O. McKay
The latest I like to be to meeting is 15 minutes early
David O. McKay
As individuals, we must think nobler thoughts. We must not encourage vile thoughts or low aspirations. We shall radiate them if we do. If we think noble thoughts, if we encourage and cherish noble aspirations, there will be that radiation when we meet people, especially when we associate with them.
David O. McKay
Trust is greater than love.
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
Pleasure is not the purpose of man's existence. Joy is.
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
