Ezra Taft Benson Quotes : pic 000544142

Ezra Taft Benson Quotes : pic 000595698

Ezra Taft Benson Quotes : pic 000721691

An honorable man or woman is one who is truthful; free from deceit; above cheating, lying, stealing, or any form of deception.

National character is the core of national defense. -- Ezra Taft Benson

Ezra Taft Benson Quotes : pic 001161158
"Thou shalt not bear false witness" Exodus 20:16. When we speak of morality, we imply that a man is true to his word-true to his signature on a contract. The violations of God's laws are evidence that lying and misrepresentation are not absent from us. -- Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra Taft Benson Quotes : pic 001161162

Ezra Taft Benson Quotes : pic 001230283

Ezra Taft Benson Quotes : pic 001262723

Nations cannot endure in sin. -- Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra Taft Benson Quotes : pic 001287368
As Americans, we have marched a long way down the soul-destroying road of socialism, atheism, and totalitarianism.

Ezra Taft Benson Quotes : pic 001477967
