Ezra Taft Benson

Ezra Taft Benson
A man must not only stand for the right principles, but he must also fight for them. Those who fight for principle can be proud of the friends they've gained and the enemies they've earned.
Ezra Taft Benson
You must keep your honor! You can't speak for the country you can do little about the national economy or actions of moral weaklings who excuse themselves with the expression, That is politics nor can you be responsible for deception in others. But you are responsible for yourself! There are no collective panaceas - only individual ones.
Ezra Taft Benson

Ezra Taft Benson
You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible!
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
