More quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
In the scriptures there is no such thing as righteous pride. It is always considered as a sin.
Ezra Taft Benson
I wish that every Latter-day Saint could say and mean it with all his heart: 'I'll go where you want me to go. I'll say what you want me to say. I'll be what you want me to be'. If we could do that, we would be assured of the maximum happiness here and exaltation in the celestial kingdom of God hereafter.

Ezra Taft Benson
When individual members and families immerse themselves in the scriptures regularly and consistently, … other areas of activity will automatically come. Testimonies will increase. Commitment will be strengthened. Families will be fortified. Personal revelation will flow
Ezra Taft Benson
Man is at his best when complimented by the influence of a good woman.
Ezra Taft Benson
We do not find the Savior using force or coercion to accomplish His purposes.
Ezra Taft Benson
Just as a man does not desire food until he is hungry, so does he not desire the salvation of Christ until he knows why he needs Christ.

Pride is a sin that can readily be seen in others but is rarely admitted in ourselves.
Ezra Taft Benson
... in all seriousness... you who submit yourselves to an abortion or to an operation that precludes you from safely having additional healthy children are jeopardizing your exaltation and your future membership in the kingdom of God.
Ezra Taft Benson
