In the scriptures there is no such thing as righteous pride. It is always considered as a sin.
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.

Pride is characterized by What do I want out of life? rather than by What would God have me do with my life? It is self-will as opposed to God's will. It is the fear of man over the fear of God.

Mothers, take time to be a real friend to your children. Listen to your children, really listen. Talk with them, laugh and joke with them, sing with them, cry with them, hug them, honestly praise them. Yes, regularly spend unused one-on-one time with each child. Be a real friend to your children.
Ezra Taft Benson

Ezra Taft Benson
We can choose to humble ourselves by loving God, adjusting our will to His, and putting Him first in our lives.
Ezra Taft Benson
Encourage your children to come to you for counsel with their problems and questions by listening to them every day. Discuss with them such important matters as dating, sex, and other matters affecting their growth and development, and do it early enough so they will not obtain information from questionable sources.
Ezra Taft Benson
Contention in our families drives the Spirit of the Lord away. It also drives many of our family members away. Contention ranges from a hostile spoken word to worldwide conflicts. The scriptures tell us that Only by pride cometh contention.
Ezra Taft Benson

Ezra Taft Benson
Scouting teaches a boy to take care of himself and stand on his own two feet.
Ezra Taft Benson

Ezra Taft Benson
On my honor - what an ennobling phrase! Three short words, nine letters, but the summation of all we call character. From the Boy Scout's Oath.
Ezra Taft Benson
Records, radio, television, movies, magazines-all are monopolized by the money managers who are guided by one ethic, the words wealth and power.
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
Pride is the great stumbling block of Zion...Pride is ugly it says if you succeed I am a failure...Pride is basically competitive in nature. When competition ends, pride ends.
