Man is a spiritual being, a soul, and at some period of his life everyone is possessed with an irresistible desire to know his relationship to the Infinite. . . . There is something within him which urges him to rise above himself, to control his environment, to master the body and all things physical and live in a higher and more beautiful world.
David O. McKayTrue education is awakening a love for truth...opening the eyes of the soul to the great purpose and end of life.
David O. McKayThe peril of this century is spiritual apathy. As the body requires sunlight, good food, proper exercise and rest, so the spirit of man requires the sunlight of the Holy Spirit; proper exercise of the spiritual functions; the avoiding of evils that affect spiritual health, that are more ravaging in their effects than typhoid fever, pneumonia, or other diseases that attack the body.
David O. McKayNext to the bestowal of life itself, the right to direct that life is God's greatest gift to man.
David O. McKayIt is written that he who governs well, leads the blind; But that he who teaches, gives them eyes.
