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.

Let us realize that: the privilege to work is a gift, the power to work is a blessing, the love of work is success!

As precious as life itself is our heritage of individual freedom, for man's free agency is a God-given gift.

Do your duty, that is best; leave unto the Lord the rest.

What you think about when you don't have to think, shows what you really are.

There is a crying need today to have this truth heralded throughout the land that youth especially may appreciate and hold the freedom of the individual as sacred as did our revolutionary fathers.

Freedom of choice is more to be treasured than any possession earth can give.

Into the soul of every student I would have instilled the patriotic fervor of Patrick Henry.

Happiness and peace will come to earth only as the light of love and human compassion enter the souls of men.

Only to the extent that men desire peace and brotherhood can the world be made better. No peace even though temporarily obtained, will be permanent, whether to individuals or nations, unless it is built upon the solid foundation of eternal principles.

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.

The conflict between communism and freedom is the problem of our time. It overshadows all other problems.

No other success can compensate for failure in the home.

Russia is enveloped with communism -- a new religious freedom must come. God will overrule it, for that people must hear the truth, and truth in simplicity.

Latter-day Saints should have nothing to do with secret combinations and groups antagonistic to the constitutional law of the land.

I have but one thought in my heart for the young folk of the Church and that is that they be happy. I know of no other place than home where more happiness can be found in this life. It is possible to make home a bit of heaven; indeed, I picture heaven to be a continuation of the ideal home.

We must not close our eyes to the fact that there are conspiring men who would pollute young boys, and girls of corresponding age, for sake of increasing profits.

The two most important documents affecting the destiny of America are the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. Both these immortal papers relate primarily to the freedom of the individual.

As long as the day lasts, let's give it all we got.

Children are more influenced by sermons you act than by sermons you preach.

To be ignorant of one's own ignorance is to be in an unprogressive, uninspired state of existence.

Your thoughts are the architects of your destiny.

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

This age is fraught with limitless perils, as well as untold possibilities.

All men who have moved the world have been men who would stand true to their conscience.
