“We can choose to humble ourselves by receiving counsel and chastisement. We can choose to humble ourselves by forgiving those who have offended us. We can choose to humble ourselves by rendering selfless service. We can choose to humble ourselves by going on missions and preaching the word that can humble others. We can choose to humble ourselves by getting to the temple more frequently. We can choose to humble ourselves by confessing and forsaking our sins and being born of God. We can choose to humble ourselves by loving God, submitting our will to His, and putting Him first in our lives. Let us choose to be humble. We can do it. I know we can.”

Ezra Taft Benson
“The one man other than my father who made the most lasting impression was an uncle, Serge B. Benson. He taught me in three different classes - but above all, he taught me lessons in moral, physical, and intellectual courage that I have tried to apply in later life.”
Ezra Taft Benson“The proud do not change to improve, but defend their position by rationalizing. Repentance means change, and it takes a humble person to change.”
Ezra Taft Benson“In the beginning, Adam was instructed to earn the bread by the sweat of his brow - not Eve. Contrary to conventional wisdom, a mother's place is in the home!”
Ezra Taft Benson“With pride, there are many curses. With humility, there come many blessings.”
Ezra Taft Benson“If a man does not control his temper, it is a sad admission that he is not in control of his thoughts.”
Ezra Taft Benson“Encourage good music and art and literature in your homes. Homes that have a spirit of refinement and beauty will bless the lives of your children forever.”
Ezra Taft Benson“The proud depend upon the world to tell them whether they have value or not. Their self-esteem is determined by where they are judged to be on the ladders of worldly success. They feel worthwhile as individuals if the numbers beneath them in achievement, talent, beauty, or intellect are large enough.”
Ezra Taft Benson“Yes, one can repent of moral transgression. The miracle of forgiveness is real, and true repentance is accepted of the Lord.”
