More quotes by 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
As precious as life itself is our heritage of individual freedom, for man's free agency is a God-given gift.
David O. McKay
Always remember that a soldier's pack is lighter than a slave's chains.
David O. McKay
Every noble impulse, every unselfish expression of love, every surrender of self to something higher than self, every loyalty to an ideal, every fine courage of the soul – by doing good for good’s sake – that is spirituality. –
David O. McKay
[Liberty] is freedom of choice, a divine gift, an essential virtue in a peaceful society.
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
True happiness comes only by making others happy.
David O. McKay
He who harbors hatred and bitterness injures himself far more than the one towards whom he manifests these evil propensities.
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
An unsatisfied appetite for knowledge means progress and is the state of a normal mind.
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
What you think about when you don't think, shows who you really are.
David O. McKay
No man can sincerely resolve to apply to his daily life the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth without sensing a change in his own nature. The phrase, 'born again', has a deeper significance than many people attach to it. This changed feeling may be indescribable, but it is real.
David O. McKay
All men who have moved the world have been men who would stand true to their conscience.
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
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
I think it must be apparent to every thinking mind that the noblest of all professions is that of teaching, and that upon the effectiveness of that teaching hangs the destiny of nations.
David O. McKay
In choosing a companion, it is necessary to study the disposition, the inheritance, and training of the one with whom you are contemplating making life’s journey.
David O. McKay
The young man who closes the door behind him, who draws the curtains, and there in silence pleads with God for help, should first pour out his soul in gratitude for health, for friends, for loved ones, for the gospel, for the manifestations of God's existence. He should first count his many blessings and name them one by one.
David O. McKay
There is no success which can compensate for the failure of the family.
David O. McKay
