David Oman McKay (September 8, 1873 – January 18, 1970) was the ninth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), serving from 1951 until his death. Ordained an apostle and member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in 1906, McKay was a general authority for nearly sixty-four years, longer than anyone else in LDS Church history.[1] [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_O._McKay
“The greatest battles of life are fought out daily in the silent chambers of the soul.””
“True education does not consist merely in the acquiring of a few facts of science, history, literature, or art, but in the development of character.””
“The home is the first and most effective place to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self control, the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no worldly success can compensate for failure in the home.””
