Text Quotes
I reverence the Constitution of the United States as a sacred document. To me its words are akin to the revelations of God, for God has placed his stamp of approval on the Constitution of this land  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) In the beginning, Adam was instructed to earn the bread by the sweat of his brow - not Eve. Contrary to conventional wisdom, a mother’s place is in the home!  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) It is a fundamental truth that the responsibilities of motherhood cannot be successfully delegated. No, not to day-care centers, not to schools, not to nurseries, not to babysitters  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) Many a man in his hour of trial has turned to the Book of Mormon and been enlightened, enlivened, and comforted. The psalms in the Old Testament have a special food for the soul of one in distress  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) Our parents deserve our honor and respect for giving us life itself. Beyond this they almost always made countless sacrifices as they cared for and nurtured us through our infancy and childhood, provided us with the necessities of life, and nursed us through physical illnesses and the emotional stresses of growing up  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) The Book of Mormon is the ‘keystone’ of our religion, and the Doctrine and Covenants is the ‘capstone,’ with continuing latter day revelation. The Lord has placed His stamp of approval on both the keystone and the capstone  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) The one man other than my father who made the most lasting impression was an uncle, Serge B. Benson. He taught me in three different classes - but above all, he taught me lessons in moral, physical, and intellectual courage that I have tried to apply in later life  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) The proud depend upon the world to tell them whether they have value or not. Their self-esteem is determined by where they are judged to be on the ladders of worldly success. They feel worthwhile as individuals if the numbers beneath them in achievement, talent, beauty, or intellect are large enough  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) There are blessings in being close to the soil, in raising your own food even if it is only a garden in your yard and a fruit tree or two. Those families will be fortunate who, in the last days, have an adequate supply of food because of their foresight and ability to produce their own  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) Too often the pressure for popularity, on children and teens, places an economic burden on the income of the father, so mother feels she must go to work to satisfy her children’s needs. That decision can be most shortsighted  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) When I think of how we show faith, I cannot help but think of the example of my own father. I recall vividly how the spirit of missionary work came into my life. I was about thirteen years of age when my father received a call to go on a mission  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) When our Heavenly Father placed Adam and Eve on this earth, He did so with the purpose in mind of teaching them how to regain His presence. Our Father promised a Savior to redeem them from their fallen condition  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) Woman was given to man as an helpmeet. That complementary association is ideally portrayed in the eternal marriage of our first parents - Adam and Eve. They labored together; they had children together; they prayed together; and they taught their children the gospel together. This is the pattern God would have all righteous men and women imitate  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) We do not have to prove the Book of Mormon is true. The book is its own proof  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) A mother’s role is God-ordained. Mothers are to conceive, bear, nourish, love, and train. They are to be helpmates and are to counsel with their husbands  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) Yes, one can repent of moral transgression. The miracle of forgiveness is real, and true repentance is accepted of the Lord  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) Every accountable child of God needs to set goals, short- and long-range goals. A man who is pressing forward to accomplish worthy goals can soon put despondency under his feet, and once a goal is accomplished, others can be set up  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) Plan to build up your food supply just as you would a savings account. Save a little for storage each paycheck. Can or bottle fruit and vegetables from your gardens and orchards. Learn how to preserve food through drying and possibly freezing. Make your storage a part of your budget  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) Inspiring music may fill the soul with heavenly thoughts, move one to righteous action, or speak peace to the soul.  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) The moral code of Heaven for both men and women is complete chastity before marriage and full fidelity after marriage.  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) In this age of the electronic media and the mass distribution of the printed word, God will hold us accountable if we do not now move the Book of Mormon in a monumental way.  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) To love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength is all-consuming and all-encompassing. It is no lukewarm endeavor.  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) One who is kind is sympathetic and gentle with others. He is considerate of others’ feelings and courteous in his behavior. He has a helpful nature. Kindness pardons others’ weaknesses and faults. Kindness is extended to all - to the aged and the young, to animals, to those low of station as well as the high.  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) 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.  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) Callings in the church, as important as they are, by their very nature are only for a period of time, and then an appropriate release takes place.  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) Young adults enrolled in universities and colleges or other postsecondary training should avail themselves of the opportunity to take institute of religion courses or, if attending a Church school, should take at least one religion course every term.  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) Opposition provides choices, and choices bring consequences - good or bad  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes) Many men and women in the world demonstrate great willpower and self-discipline in overcoming bad habits and the weaknesses of the flesh.  (Ezra Taft Benson Quotes)
