Ezra Taft Benson

Satan knows that youth is the springtime of life when all things are new and young people are most vulnerable. ”

No man is truly educated unless he knows where he came from, why he is here, and where he can expect to go in the next life. ”

Sacrifice is truly the crowning test of the gospel. Men are tried and tested in this mortal probation to see if they will put first in their lives the kingdom of God. ”

Young people especially sometimes feel that the standards of the Lord are like fences and chains, blocking them from those activities that seem most enjoyable in life. ”

Christ removed self as the force in His perfect life. It was, 'Not my will, but thine be done.' ”

We should put God ahead of everyone else in our lives. ”

God lives. I know that He lives. I know that Jesus is the Christ and the Redeemer of the world. ”

Essentially, pride is a 'my will' rather than 'thy will' approach to life. ”

Besides the physical ordinance of baptism and the laying on of hands, one must be spiritually born again to gain exaltation and eternal life. ”

The great test of life is obedience to God. ”
