Please do not think me a pessimist. I love life. I think it is a joy to live in this age. Every morning, as I greet the sun as he ushers in these unexcelled autumn days, I feel the joy of living. I realize the accomplishments, to a certain degree, of this wonderful mechanistic age. Today time and distance are practically annihilated.
More Quotes from David Oman McKay:

We chew the cud of slander with satisfaction slander, 'whose whisper over the worlds diameter, as level as the cannon to its blank, transports his poisoned shot.' Talk about battles yet to be fought Backbiting and evil speaking head the list.David Oman McKay

Spirituality is not constant meditation and an indifference to surrounding conditions and responsibilities rather, it is doing those things which are in accordance with the mind and will of God. It concerns itself with temporal life as well as with things of the spirit.

If we would have peace as individuals, we must supplant enmity with forbearance, which means to refrain or abstain from finding fault or from condemning others.... We shall have power to do this if we really cherish in our hearts the ideals of Christ, who said 'Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.' (Matt. 523-24) Note the Savior did not say if you have ought against him, but if you find that another has ought against you.

To Him this earthly career is but a day, and its closing but the setting of life's sun death, but a sleep, is followed by a glorious awakening in the morning of an eternal realm.
