More quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
If we keep a goal firmly in mind, we will know when we have reached it. This gives us a sense of accomplishment and the challenge of establishing fresh, new goals - always keeping the long-range objective in mind. If we can state our goals clearly, we will gain a purpose and meaning in all our actions.
Ezra Taft Benson
For the past two centuries, those who do not prize freedom have chipped away at every major clause of our Constitution until today we face a crisis of great dimensions.
Ezra Taft Benson
The Book of Mormon offers so much that broadens our understandings of the doctrines of salvation. Without it, much of what is taught in other scriptures would not be nearly so plain and precious.
Ezra Taft Benson
Any Christian constitutionalist who retreats from this battle jeopardizes his life here and hereafter. Seldom has so much responsibility hung on so few, so heavily but our numbers are increasing, and we who have been warned have a responsibility to warn our neighbor.

The Book of Mormon was written for us today. God is the author of the book. It is a record of a fallen people, compiled by inspired men for our blessing today. Those people never had the book. It was meant for us.
Ezra Taft Benson
From the Book of Mormon we learn how disciples of Christ live in times of war.
Ezra Taft Benson
To the humble, the Lord has given this promise: If men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me.
Ezra Taft Benson
We should confess His hand in all things. Ingratitude is one of our great sins.
Ezra Taft Benson
You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible!
Ezra Taft Benson
A father’s duty is to make his home a place of happiness and joy.
Ezra Taft Benson
Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature.
Ezra Taft Benson
Scouting teaches a boy to take care of himself and stand on his own two feet.
Ezra Taft Benson
Some of the greatest battles you will face will be fought within the silent chambers of your own soul.
Ezra Taft Benson
Would we not do well to have the pleasing of God as our motive rather than to try to elevate ourselves above our brother and outdo another?
Ezra Taft Benson
The earth was cursed for Adam's sake. Work is our blessing, not our doom. God has a work to do, and so should we.
Ezra Taft Benson
The stage, the screen, the novel, casual conversation, the street discussion, and too often the fireside intimacies are punctuated with blasphemy, to which may be added, as of the same nature, coarse, ribald jokes, foul stories, and low small talk. Some would have us believe that profanity is a sign of masculinity and emotion maturity.
