More quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Wickedness never did, never does, never will bring us happiness.
Ezra Taft Benson
We counsel you, young men, not to pollute your minds with such degrading matter, for the mind through which this filth passes is never the same afterwards. Don't see R-rated movies or vulgar videos or participate in any entertainment that is immoral, suggestive, or pornographic. Don't listen to music that is degrading
Ezra Taft Benson
From the Book of Mormon we learn how disciples of Christ live in times of war.
Ezra Taft Benson
No society will long survive without mothers who care for their young and provide that nurturing care so essential for their normal development.
Ezra Taft Benson
The proud make every man their adversary by pitting their intellects, opinions, works, wealth, talents, or any other worldly measuring device against others.
Ezra Taft Benson
The world today speaks a great deal about love, and it is sought by many. But the pure love of Christ differs greatly from what the world thinks of love. Charity never seeks selfish gratification. The pure love of Christ seeks only the eternal growth and joy of others.
Ezra Taft Benson
Be right, and then be easy to live with, if possible, but in that order.
Ezra Taft Benson
Take care of yourselves physically. Guard your health carefully. It is one of our greatest blessings. I especially encourage some type of exercise program so you can stay physically fit and physically capable in proportion to the demands on your body.
Ezra Taft Benson
Meditation on a passage of scripture... led a young boy into a grove of trees to commune with his heavenly Father. That is what opened the heavens in this dispensation
Ezra Taft Benson
Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ
Ezra Taft Benson
Young people, you need the wisdom of age, just as some of us older ones need your enthusiasm for life.
Ezra Taft Benson
Men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can.
Ezra Taft Benson
Let your minds be filled with the goal of being like the Lord, and you will crowd out depressing thoughts as you anxiously seek to know Him and do His will.
Ezra Taft Benson
To a significant degree, we are an overfed and undernourished nation digging an early grave with our teeth, and lacking the energy that could be ours because we overindulge in junk foods.
Ezra Taft Benson
We will not know Him, until we become like him.
Ezra Taft Benson
It is not enough simply to try to resist evil or empty our lives of sin. We must also fill our lives with righteousness
Ezra Taft Benson
One of Satan's most frequently used deceptions is the notion that the commandments of God are meant to restrict freedom and limit happiness.
Ezra Taft Benson
The secret of a happy marriage is to serve God and each other. The goal of marriage is unity and oneness, as well as self-development. Paradoxically, the more we serve one another, the greater is our spiritual and emotional growth.
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
Be cheerful in all that you do. Live joyfully. Live happily.
Ezra Taft Benson
