Gospel Principles -- Work and Personal Responsibility

President David O. McKay said, “Let us realize that the privilege to work is a gift, that the power to work is a blessing, that the love of work is success” (Pathways to Happiness [1957], 381).

A prophet of God has said, “Work is to be reenthroned as the ruling principle of the lives of our Church membership” (Heber J. Grant,Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Heber J. Grant [2002], 115).
