Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ
Ezra Taft Benson
Be cheerful in all that you do. Live joyfully. Live happily.
Ezra Taft Benson
Pride... limits or stops progression. The proud are not easily taught. They won't change their minds to accept truths, because to do so implies they have been wrong.
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
True repentance involves a change of heart and not just a change of behavior.
Ezra Taft Benson
It is my firm belief that the God of Heaven raised up the founding fathers and inspired them to establish the Constitution of this land. This is part of my religious faith. To me this is not just another nation. It is a great and glorious nation with a divine mission to perform for liberty-loving people everywhere.

When you are tempted to look elsewhere for greener pastures, just remember someone else is probably looking at yours. And if another pasture looks greener, perhaps it is getting better care and attention. Grass is always greener . . . where it is watered.
Ezra Taft Benson
Would we not do well to have the pleasing of God as our motive rather than to try to elevate ourselves above our brother and outdo another?
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
Pride adversely affects all our relationships - our relationship with God and His servants, between husband and wife, parent and child, employer and employee, teacher and student, and all mankind.
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
In general, the more food we eat in its natural state - without additives - and the less it is refined, the healthier it will be for us. Food can affect the mind, and deficiencies of certain elements in the body can promote mental depression.
Ezra Taft Benson
Character is the one thing we make in this world and take with us into the next.
Ezra Taft Benson
Pride is a sin that can readily be seen in others but is rarely admitted in ourselves.
Ezra Taft Benson
In the scriptures there is no such thing as righteous pride. It is always considered as a sin.
Ezra Taft Benson
Happy and successful homes cannot be built on immorality.
Ezra Taft Benson
The expression follow the Brethren has a broader meaning than some would apply to it. It means not only to agree with the counsel given to the Church by the Brethren, but also to follow their example in appearance and deportment.
Ezra Taft Benson
Communism introduced into the world a substitute for true religion. It is a counterfeit of the gospel plan.
Ezra Taft Benson
I have a vision of the whole Church getting nearer to God by abiding by the precepts of the Book of Mormon.
Ezra Taft Benson
Let your minds be filled with the goal of being like the Lord, and you will crowd out depressing thoughts as you anxiously seek to know Him and do His will.
