To Exist is to Radiate!

My friend and classmate, Tiffany, shared this great quote from President David O. McKay. I thought it was worth repeating.


“Every man has an atmosphere which is affecting every other man.  He cannot escape for one moment from this radiation of his character, this constant weakening or strengthening of others.  Man cannot evade the responsibility by merely saying that it is an unconscious influence.

This radiation …comes from what a person really is, not from what he pretends to be.  … Life is a state of radiation and absorption.  To exist is to radiate.  To exist is to be the recipient of radiation.” (16 May 1948)
