More quotes by Ezra Taft Benson

Ezra Taft Benson
Nations cannot endure in sin.

Ezra Taft Benson
God loves us the devil hates us. God wants us to have a fulness of joy as He has. The devil wants us to be miserable as he is. God gives us commandments to bless us. The devil would have us break these commandments to curse us.
Ezra Taft Benson
There can be no genuine happiness separate and apart from the home.
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

Ezra Taft Benson
[Joseph Smith] foresaw the time when the destiny of the nation would be in danger and would hang as by a thread. Thank God he did not see the thread break. He also indicated the important part that this people should yet play in standing for the principles embodied in these sacred documents - the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Ezra Taft Benson
