Man is responsible not only for every deed, but also for every idle word and thought.
David O. McKayToday, as never before, the issue is clearly defined-liberty and freedom of choice, or oppression and subjugation for the individual and for nations.
David O. McKayThe true purpose of life is the perfection of humanity through individual effort, under the guidance of God's inspiration. Real life is response to the best within us. To be alive only to appetite, pleasure, pride, money-making, and not to goodness and kindness, purity and love, poetry, music, flowers, stars, God and eternal hopes, is to deprive one's self of the real joy of living.
David O. McKayWell,โ you may ask, โhow may I know when I am in love?โ . . . George Q. Morris [who later became a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, gave this reply]: โMy mother once said that if you meet a girl in whose presence you feel a desire to achieve, who inspires you to do your best, and to make the most of yourself, such a young woman is worthy of your love and is awakening love in your heart.
David O. McKay
