Ezra Taft Benson
The secret of a happy marriage is to serve God and each other. The goal of marriage is unity and oneness, as well as self-development. Paradoxically, the more we serve one another, the greater is our spiritual and emotional growth.
Ezra Taft Benson
Character is the one thing we make in this world and take with us into the next.
Ezra Taft Benson
