More quotes by 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.
Ezra Taft Benson
We can choose to humble ourselves by receiving counsel and chastisement, . . . by forgiving those who have offended us, . . . by rendering selfless service. . . .
Ezra Taft Benson
Man is at his best when complimented by the influence of a good woman.
Ezra Taft Benson
Mothers, train up your children in righteousness do not attempt to save the world and let your own family fall apart.
Ezra Taft Benson
Nations cannot endure in sin.
Ezra Taft Benson
[The Constitution] will not be saved in Washington. It will be saved by the citizens of this nation who love and cherish freedom...men and women who will subscribe to and abide the principles of the Constitution.
Ezra Taft Benson
For years we have heard of the role the Elders could play in saving the Constitution from total destruction. But how can the Elders be expected to save it if they have not studied it and are not sure if it is being destroyed or what is destroying it.
Ezra Taft Benson
There is no greater Church calling than that of a home teacher. There is no greater Church service rendered to our Father in Heaven's children than the service rendered by a humble, dedicated, committed home teacher.
Ezra Taft Benson
If you really want to receive joy and happiness, then serve others with all your heart. Lift their burden, and your own burden will be lighter.
Ezra Taft Benson
We must be devoted to sound principles in word and deed: principle above party, principle above pocketbook, principle above popularity.
Ezra Taft Benson
When individual members and families immerse themselves in the scriptures regularly and consistently, … other areas of activity will automatically come. Testimonies will increase. Commitment will be strengthened. Families will be fortified. Personal revelation will flow
Ezra Taft Benson
Youth is the spirit of adventure and awakening. It is a time of physical emerging when the body attains the vigor and good health that may ignore the caution of temperance. Youth is a period of timelessness when the horizons of age seem too distant to be noticed.
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
Those who are heavy-laden with despair should come unto the Lord.
Ezra Taft Benson
Our great Constitution has been beaten and torn until now it hangs by a single thread, and that thread is our franchise to vote.
Ezra Taft Benson
This is our first interest as a church-to save and exalt the souls of the children of men. There is no richer program anywhere in the world than we have in the Church today for the building of men and women and providing the answers to the problems that face parents, families, and individuals. It is a program that is needed today as never before.
Ezra Taft Benson
Beware of those who would pit the dead prophets against the living prophets, for the living prophets always take precedence.
Ezra Taft Benson
We are an overfed and undernourished nation digging an early grave with our teeth.
Ezra Taft Benson
Humility does not mean weakness. It does not mean timidity. It does not mean fear. A man can be humble and fearless. A man can be humble and courageous.
Ezra Taft Benson
Christ wants to lift us to where He is. Do we desire to do the same for others?
Ezra Taft Benson
