“Vices are simply overworked virtues, anyway. Economy and frugality are to be commended but follow them on in an increasing ratio and what do we find at the other end? A miser! If we overdo the using of spare moments we may find an invalid at the end, while perhaps if we allowed ourselves more idle time we would conserve our nervous strength and health to more than the value the work we could accomplish by emulating at all times the little busy bee.”

“The true way to live is to enjoy every moment as it passes, and surely it is in the everyday things around us that the beauty of life lies.”

“As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness -- just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it; just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength; the bright sunshine on a cold day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm.”

“The trouble with organizing a thing is that pretty soon folks get to paying more attention to the organization than to what they're organized for.”

Ezra Taft Benson
“Some men are willing to die for their faith but will not fully live for it. Christ both lived and died for us. By walking in his steps, and through his atonement, we can gain the greatest gift of all—eternal life—which is that kind of life lived by the great Eternal One—our Father in heaven.”
-- President Ezra Taft Benson
