QUOTES BY Ezra Taft Benson


Some of the greatest battles will be fought within the silent chambers of your own soul.

What does it mean to love someone with all your heart? It means to love with all your emotional feelings and with all your devotion. Surely when you love your wife with all your heart, you cannot demean her, criticize her, find fault with her, or abuse her by words, sullen behavior, or actions.

When obedience ceases to be an irritant and becomes our quest, in that moment God will endow us with power.

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.

God will have a humble people. Either we can choose to be humble, or we can be compelled to be humble.

The fellowship of true friends who can hear you out, share your joys, help carry your burdens, and correctly counsel you is priceless.

You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible!

We are eternal beings. We lived as intelligent spirits before this mortal life. We are now living part of eternity. Our mortal birth was not the beginning; death, which faces all of us, is not the end.

The proud do not change to improve, but defend their position by rationalizing. Repentance means change, and it takes a humble person to change.
