The true purpose of life is the perfection of humanity through individual effort, under the guidance of God's inspiration.
David O. McKayMotherhood is the one thing in all the world which most truly exemplifies the God-given virtues of creating and sacrificing. Though it carries the woman close to the brink of death, motherhood also leads her into the very realm of the fountains of life and makes her co-partner with the Creator in bestowing upon eternal spirits mortal life.
David O. McKayThe Gospel of Jesus Christ can make bad men good and good men better, can alter human nature, and can change human lives.
David O. McKayWould you have a strong and virile nation, keep your homes pure; would you reduce delinquency and crime, lessen the number of broken homes. It is time that civilized peoples realized that prevention is more profitable than punishment, and that the home is the incubator either of children of high character or of criminals. Home building, therefore, should be the paramount purpose of parents and of the nation.
David O. McKay
