"There is one responsibility which no man can evade; that responsibility is his personal influence, a silent, subtle radiation...This radiation is tremendous. Every...person who lives in this world wields an influence whether for good or for evil. It is not what he says alone; it is not alone what he does. It is what he is...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."
--David O. McKay
(A fusion of two quotes, BYU April 1948 and The Instructor October 1964)
