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
Scouting teaches a boy to take care of himself and stand on his own two feet.
Ezra Taft Benson
If you turn your life over to the Lord he can do so much more with it than we can.
Ezra Taft Benson
Inspiring music may fill the soul with heavenly thoughts, move one to righteous action, or speak peace to the soul.
Ezra Taft Benson
The stage, the screen, the novel, casual conversation, the street discussion, and too often the fireside intimacies are punctuated with blasphemy, to which may be added, as of the same nature, coarse, ribald jokes, foul stories, and low small talk. Some would have us believe that profanity is a sign of masculinity and emotion maturity.
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
Besides the physical ordinance of baptism and the laying on of hands, one must be spiritually born again to gain exaltation and eternal life.
Ezra Taft Benson
Those who are heavy-laden with despair should come unto the Lord.
Ezra Taft Benson
Pride is a sin that can readily be seen in others but is rarely admitted in ourselves.
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
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
Every Latter-day Saint should love the inspired Constitution of the United States - a nation with a spiritual foundation and a prophetic history - which nation the Lord has declared to be his base of operations in these latter days.
Ezra Taft Benson
What does it mean to love someone with all your heart? It means to love with all your emotional feelings and with all your devotion. Surely when you love your wife with all your heart, you cannot demean her, criticize her, find fault with her, or abuse her by words, sullen behavior, or actions.
Ezra Taft Benson
I have a vision of artists putting into film, drama, literature, music, and paintings great themes and great characters from the Book of Mormon.
Ezra Taft Benson
It is the mark of a truly educated man to know what not to read.
Ezra Taft Benson
There are blessings in being close to the soil, in raising your own food even if it is only a garden in your yard and a fruit tree or two. Those families will be fortunate who, in the last days, have an adequate supply of food because of their foresight and ability to produce their own.
Ezra Taft Benson
We do not find the Savior using force or coercion to accomplish His purposes.
