More quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
The Church has no double standard of morality. The moral code of heaven for both men and women is complete chastity before marriage and full fidelity after marriage.
Ezra Taft Benson
We do not have to prove the Book of Mormon is true. The book is its own proof.
Ezra Taft Benson
It is the mark of a truly educated man to know what not to read.
Ezra Taft Benson
Thoughts lead to acts, acts lead to habits, habits lead to character - and our character will determine our eternal destiny.
Ezra Taft Benson
When we put God first, all other things fall into their proper place or drop out of our lives. Our love of the Lord will govern the claims for our affection, the demands on our time, the interests we pursue, and the order of our priorities.
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
Faith is the foundation upon which a godlike character is built. It is a prerequisite for all other virtues.
Ezra Taft Benson
The Lord has warned and forewarned us against a day of great tribulation and given us counsel, through His Servants, on how we can be prepared for these difficult times. Have we heeded His counsel?
Ezra Taft Benson
An almost forgotten means of economic self-reliance is the home production of food. We are too accustomed to going to stores and purchasing what we need.
Ezra Taft Benson
We can and should place special emphasis on developing in our youth constructive incentives — a love of science, engineering, and math, so that they will want to take advanced scientific courses and thereby help meet the needs of our times.
Ezra Taft Benson
We will not know Him, until we become like him.
Ezra Taft Benson
To their duty to God, youth should realize their duty to our country. They should love and honor the Constitution of the United States, the basic concepts and principles upon which this nation has been established. Yes, they need to develop a love for our free institutions.
Ezra Taft Benson
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.
Ezra Taft Benson
Pride is the great stumbling block of Zion. I repeat: Pride is the great stumbling block of Zion.
Ezra Taft Benson
Every member of the priesthood should understand the divine plan designed by the Lord to raise up the first free people in modern times.
Ezra Taft Benson
In the beginning, Adam — not Eve— was instructed to earn the bread by the sweat of his brow. Contrary to conventional wisdom, a mother's calling is in the home, not in the marketplace.
Ezra Taft Benson
I feel certain that if, in our homes, parents will read from the Book of Mormon prayerfully and regularly, both by themselves and with their children, the spirit of that great book will come to permeate our homes and all who dwell therein.
Ezra Taft Benson
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
Just as a man does not desire food until he is hungry, so does he not desire the salvation of Christ until he knows why he needs Christ.
Ezra Taft Benson
The greatest test of life is obedience to God.
