Our Country - Quotes by Benson and Hinckley


Quote


Ezra Taft Benson said:
I don’t know how you feel, my brethren and sisters,
but I’d rather be dead than to lose my liberty.
I have no fear we’ll ever lose it because of invasion from the outside.
But I do have fear that it may slip away from us
because of our own indifference, our own negligence
,
as citizens of this land.
And so I plead with you this morning that you take an active interest
in matters pertaining to the future of this country.
“The LDS Church and Politics”, BYU Devotional, December 1, 1952



Gordon B. Hinckley said:
We are involved in an intense battle.
It is a battle between right and wrong,
 between truth and error,
between the design of the Almighty on the one hand
and that of Lucifer on the other
.
For that reason, we desperately need moral men
and women who stand on principle,
to be involved in the political process.
Otherwise, we abdicate power to those 

whose designs are almost entirely selfish.
“Stand a little Taller”, pg. 15, July 2001
