Ezra Taft Benson
Freedom can be killed by neglect as well as by direct attack.
Ezra Taft Benson

Ezra Taft Benson
I rode horseback three miles each way to get to high school, and in bad weather it was a problem sometimes to make my eight o'clock class on time. Like others, I often missed school to help on the farm, especially in the fall, until after harvest, and in the spring, during planting season.
Ezra Taft Benson
You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible!
