“Unrestrained passion, ungoverned appetite, envy, hatred, wealth, and power used to govern men and to crush them—these are the enemies of peace. They bring misery to the individual. They bring unhappiness in the home. They bring war and contention in the world, discontent, misery and death. They are the opposite of the peace which Christ came to give the world.” (David O. McKay, as quoted by Henry D. Moyle, BYU Fireside, Jan. 6, 1963)
“Now, nearly every temptation that comes to you and me comes in one of those forms. Classify them, and you will find that under one of those three nearly every given temptation … comes to us as (1) a temptation of the appetite; (2) a yielding to the pride and fashion and vanity of those alienated from the things of God; or (3) a gratifying of the passion, or a desire for the riches of the world, or power among men.” (David O. McKay, Conference Report, Oct. 1911, p. 59)
