Acknowledging the Lord's hand in our lives cultivates gratitude....
More Quotes from Ezra Taft Benson:
In the 1940s while serving as the executive officer of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives in Washington, D. C., I saw in a Hilton Hotel a placard depicting Uncle Sam, representing America, on his knees in humility and prayer. Beneath the placard was the inscription, 'Not beaten there by the hammer and sickle, but freely, responsibly, confidently.... We need fear nothing or no one save God.' That picture has stayed in my memory ever since America on her knees in recognition that all our blessings come from God America on her knees out of a desire to serve the God of this land by keeping his commandments America on her knees, not driven there in capitulation to some despotic government, but on her knees freely, willingly, gratefully This is the sovereign remedy to all of our problems and the preservation of our liberties.Ezra Taft Benson
One of Satan's greatest tools is pride to cause a man or a woman to center so much attention on self that he or she becomes insensitive to his Creator or fellow beings. It is a cause for discontent, divorce, teenage rebellion, family indebtedness, and most other problems we face.
Ezra Taft Benson
We are recipients of God's choicest blessings. We enjoy an abundance of material things beyond that enjoyed by any other nation in the history of the world but unless we keep alive a realization that all these blessings come from God and are a part of our great spiritual heritage, they may crumble as ashes in our hands. 'In nothing doth man offend God, or against none is his wrath kindled, save those who confess not his hand in all things and obey not his commandments.' (DC 5921)

Bad experience is a school that only fools keep going to.
Ezra Taft Benson
In the scriptures there is no such thing as righteous pride. It is always considered as a sin. We are not speaking of a wholesome view of self-worth, which is best established by a close relationship with God. But we are speaking of pride as the universal sin, as someone has described it.... Essentially, pride is a 'my will' rather than 'thy will' approach to life. The opposite of pride is humbleness, meekness, submissiveness, or teachableness.

Be right, and then be easy to live with, if possible, but in that order.

You have to contort your body in a certain way to hit a low note. When you're on film, you can't. So you do, in a sense, get to hide behind your voice, which is nice.
