Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
What a gift it would be to receive at Christmastime a greater knowledge of the Lord. What a gift it would be to share that knowledge with others.

Try as you may, you cannot put the Lord in your debt. For every time you try to do His will, He simply pours out more blessings upon you.
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
Some spiritually alert parents hold early-morning devotionals with their families in their homes. They have a hymn, prayer, and then read and discuss the Book of Mormon.
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
Truly a man does not live by bread alone. A good name is still to be preferred over great riches. Especially is it to be preferred to the appearance of riches, acquired with nothing down and nothing to pay for two months.
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
Efficient spending and saving will give the family more security, more opportunities, more education, and a higher standard of living.

Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
Can human hearts be changed? Why, of course! It happens every day in the great missionary work of the Church. It is one of the most widespread of Christ's modern miracles. If it hasn't happened to you - it should.
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
Young women, the family unit is forever, and you should do everything in your power to strengthen that unit.
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
Christ removed self as the force in His perfect life. It was, 'Not my will, but thine be done.'
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
Food production is just one part of the repeated emphasis that you store a provision of food which will last for at least a year wherever it is legally permissible to do so.
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
Young people, you need the wisdom of age, just as some of us older ones need your enthusiasm for life.
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson

Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
If you are a single parent, make friends with others in similar situations and develop friendships with married couples. Counsel with your priesthood leaders. Let them know of your needs and wants. Single parenthood is understood by the Lord.
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
I testify to you that God's pay is the best pay that this world or any other world knows anything about.
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson

Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
In the beginning, God placed a woman in a companion role with the priesthood.
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
I am a witness to nations and people deprived of their freedom. I was there. I watched that great Iron Curtain drop around nations which formerly had prized their freedom - good people. I was aghast as these were written off by the stroke of a pen.
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
Students at universities are sometimes so filled with the doctrines of the world they begin to question the doctrines of the gospel.
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
Our enmity toward God takes on many labels, such as rebellion, hard-heartedness, stiff-neckedness, unrepentant, puffed up, easily offended, and sign seekers. The proud wish God would agree with them. They aren't interested in changing their opinions to agree with God's.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
The literal resurrection of every soul who has lived and died on earth is a certainty, and surely one should make careful preparation for this event. A glorious resurrection should be the goal of every man and woman, for resurrection will be a reality.
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
Many a family, in order to make a 'proper showing,' will commit itself for a larger and more expensive house than is needed, in an expensive neighborhood. Almost everyone would, it seems, like to keep up with the Joneses.
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
The Book of Mormon, the record of Joseph, verifies and clarifies the Bible. It removes stumbling blocks; it restores many plain and precious things.
Quote by -Ezra Taft Benson
The undermining of the home and family is on the increase with the devil anxiously working to displace the father as the head of the home and create rebellion among the children.
