More quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
It is mother's influence during the crucial formative years that forms a child's basic character. Home is the place where a child learns faith, feels love, and thereby learns from mother's loving example to choose righteousness.
Ezra Taft Benson
Clean hearts and healthful food, exercise, early sleep and fresh air, wholesome recreation and meditation combined with optimism that comes from fighting for the right and knowing you'll eventually win for keeps - this is the tonic every true Christian patriot needs and deserves.
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

Ezra Taft Benson
We are an overfed and undernourished nation digging an early grave with our teeth.
Ezra Taft Benson
Godly sorrow is a gift of the Spirit. It is a deep realization that our actions have offended our Father and our God. It is the sharp and keen awareness that our behavior caused the Savior, He who knew no sin, even the greatest of all, to endure agony and suffering.
Ezra Taft Benson

Ezra Taft Benson
The responsibility of a man is to lead his family.
Ezra Taft Benson
It is not unusual to hear a religious leader, a philosopher, or a poet refer to man as having a divine spark within him. Such characterizations infer that man possesses great abilities and potentials. We are frequently admonished to develop our capabilities, reach out, and set high goals for ourselves.
Ezra Taft Benson
The proud make every man their adversary by pitting their intellects, opinions, works, wealth, talents, or any other worldly measuring device against others.
Ezra Taft Benson
Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature.
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
Communism introduced into the world a substitute for true religion. It is a counterfeit of the gospel plan.
Ezra Taft Benson
Take care of yourselves physically. Guard your health carefully. It is one of our greatest blessings. I especially encourage some type of exercise program so you can stay physically fit and physically capable in proportion to the demands on your body.
Ezra Taft Benson
Only Jesus Christ is uniquely qualified to provide that hope, that confidence, and that strength we need to overcome the world and rise above our human failings. To do so, we must place our faith in Him and live by His laws and teachings.
Ezra Taft Benson
Thank God for the joys of family life. I have often said there can be no genuine happiness separate and apart from a good home. The sweetest influences and associations of life are there
Ezra Taft Benson
The earth was cursed for Adam's sake. Work is our blessing, not our doom. God has a work to do, and so should we.
Ezra Taft Benson
Mothers, train up your children in righteousness do not attempt to save the world and let your own family fall apart.
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
We should confess His hand in all things. Ingratitude is one of our great sins.
