Every Latter-day Saint should love the inspired Constitution of the United States - a nation with a spiritual foundation and a prophetic history - which nation the Lord has declared to be his base of operations in these latter days. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
You don't talk to yourself, you talk to your past with the result of no future. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
I feel like you constantly have to prove why you deserve to continue to exist. ~ Ezra Koenig
Ezra quotes by Ezra Koenig
Every accountable child of God needs to set goals, short- and long-range goals. A man who is pressing forward to accomplish worthy goals can soon put despondency under his feet, and once a goal is accomplished, others can be set up. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by 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
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Good art however "immoral" is wholly a thing of virtue. Good art can not be immoral. By good art I mean art that bears true witness, I mean the art that is most precise. ~ Ezra Pound
Ezra quotes by Ezra Pound
Why are adults so dangerous to children? Because they force upon the child another's viewpoint and take away the child's ability to create his or her own universe. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
You die the moment you stop putting out YOUR ideas. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
The seeds of divorce are often sown and the problems of children begin when Mother works outside the home. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
I wish that every Latter-day Saint could say and mean it with all his heart: 'I'll go where you want me to go. I'll say what you want me to say. I'll be what you want me to be'. If we could do that, we would be assured of the maximum happiness here and exaltation in the celestial kingdom of God hereafter. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Saul of Tarsus. The young man's face was aflame with the same fiery vengeance that filled Ezra's heart. The elders dropped their cloaks of office by Saul's feet and moved forward as the crowd unfolded. That was how it seemed to Ezra. They were a human fist, cloaked not in their robes but in rage, and they flexed their fingers in preparation of doing away with the man who dared offend the Sanhedrin. ~ Janette Oke
Ezra quotes by Janette Oke
You know, I was really privileged to meet Woody Allen, who is now a filmmaker, let's be honest. He's also an actor. And he's classic. And because I have no conception of what classic fashion is now, I respond to his slightly outdated sensibilities. ~ Ezra Miller
Ezra quotes by Ezra Miller
Reasons (for things or events) always contain lies. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
There was never a revival of religion without a revival of his opposition. As soon as Ezra and Nehemiah begin to labor, Sanballat and Tobiah are stirred up to hinder them. What then? We are not alarmed because Satan hindereth us, for it is a proof that we are on the Lord's side, and are doing the Lord's work, and in his strength we shall win the victory, and triumph over our adversary. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Ezra quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
I'm certainly not interested in religion for religion's sake or for some kind of structure or stabilizing force. Religion is supposed to be for God's sake and God is an unpredictable, wild thing. ~ Ezra Furman
Ezra quotes by Ezra Furman
Music rots when it gets too far from the dance. Poetry atrophies when it gets too far from music. ~ Ezra Pound
Ezra quotes by Ezra Pound
The leisure time of children must be constructively directed to wholesome, positive pursuits. Too much time viewing television can be destructive ... It is estimated that growing children today watch television over twenty-five hours per week. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
One of Satan's most frequently used deceptions is the notion that the commandments of God are meant to restrict freedom and limit happiness. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
This is Zemzem near Mecca. According to this, however, Hagar headed into the Arabian Peninsula rather than toward Egypt. ~ Abraham Meir Ben Ibn Ezra
Ezra quotes by Abraham Meir Ben Ibn Ezra
Blonde on Blonde by Bob Dylan I heard when I was 13. It was one of those things where it was like, "Hey, the world is much bigger than you imagined as a little kid." ~ Ezra Furman
Ezra quotes by Ezra Furman
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. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Yes, but bad language is bound to make in addition bad government, whereas good language is not bound to make bad government. That again is clear Confucius: if the orders aren't clear they can't be carried out. Lloyd George's laws were such a mess, the lawyers never knew what they meant. And Talleyrand proclaimed that they changed the meaning of words between one conference and another. The means of communication breaks down, and that of course is what we are suffering now. We are enduring the drive to work on the subconscious without appealing to the reason. They repeat a trade name with the music a few times, and then repeat the music without it so that the music will give you the name. I think of the assault. We suffer from the use of language to conceal thought and to withhold all vital and direct answers. There is the definite use of propaganda, forensic language, merely to conceal and mislead. ~ Ezra Pound
Ezra quotes by Ezra Pound
If you don't have enough sales, you simply don't see enough good in others. Once you see the good in others, you will reach out to them. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
I think I enjoy playing human beings no matter the substance of their character. ~ Ezra Miller
Ezra quotes by Ezra Miller
God's revelation to Adam did not instruct Noah how to build the ark. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
The more you can observe the less you are effect. Effect is the manifestation of lack of observation ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
Unfortunately, the term "identity politics" has been weaponized. It is most often used by speakers to describe politics as practiced by members of historically marginalized groups. If you're black and you're worried about police brutality, that's identity politics. If you're a woman and you're worried about the male-female pay gap, that's identity politics. But if you're a rural gun owner decrying universal background checks as tyranny, or a billionaire CEO complaining that high tax rates demonize success, or a Christian insisting on Nativity scenes in public squares - well, that just good, old fashioned politics. With a quick sleight of hand, identity becomes something that only marginalized groups have.

The term "identity politics," in this usage, obscures rather than illuminates; it's used to diminish and discredit the concerns of the weaker groups by making them look self-interested, special pleading in order to clear the agenda for the concerns of stronger groups, which are framed as more rational, proper topics for political debate. But in wielding identity as a blade, we have lost it as a lens, blinding ourselves in a bid for political advantage. WE are left searching in vaid for what we refuse to allow ourselves to see. ~ Ezra Klein
Ezra quotes by Ezra Klein
The more laws you have, the more lawless people are, the less and less freedom people have, and that results in less life ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
Wars in old times were made to get slaves. The modern implement of imposing slavery is debt. ~ Ezra Pound
Ezra quotes by Ezra Pound
See, they return; ah, see the tentative Movements, and the slow feet, The trouble in the pace and the uncertain Wavering! See, they return, one, and by one, With fear, as half-awakened; As if the snow should hesitate And murmur in the wind, and half turn back; ~ Ezra Pound
Ezra quotes by Ezra Pound
Do not leave yourself or your family unprotected against financial storms ... Build up savings. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
You put the value into things ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
Have a good physical outlet of some sport or exercise. Overcome evil with good. You can overcome many evil inclinations through good physical exertion and healthful activities. A healthy soul ... is in better condition to overthrow the devil. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Time is numbered only to man. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
As a bathtub lined with white porcelain, When the hot water gives out or goes tepid, So is the slow cooling of our chivalrous passion, O my much praised but-not-altogether-satisfactory lady. ~ Ezra Pound
Ezra quotes by Ezra Pound
The token gay character is always so funny and so fantastic. That's happened a lot. Or they're often purely victims. ~ Ezra Miller
Ezra quotes by Ezra Miller
To me, one of the greatest triumphs in doing a book is to tell the story as simply as possible. My aim is to imply rather than to overstate. Whenever the reader participates with his own interpretation, I feel that the book is much more successful. I write with the premise that less is more. Writing is not difficult to me. I read into a tape recorder, constantly dropping a word here and there from my manuscript until I get a minimum amount of words to say exactly what I want to say. Each time I drop a word or two, it brings me a sense of victory! ~ Ezra Jack Keats
Ezra quotes by Ezra Jack Keats
To succeed you need to be cause. To be cause you must communicate, as the only thing you cause is the communication with beings, people and things. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
People communicate to be understood. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
دختر

درختي به دستانم سبز شده,
شيره بر بازوانم جوشيده,
درخت در سينه‏ام شكفته --
سر به زير,
شاخه‏ها ,چون بازوان, از درونم مي‏بالند.

درخت هستي تو ,
خزه‌اي تو ,
بنفشه‏هايي كه باد در او مي‌پيچد,
كودكي هستي بلند بالا ,
و جهان اين همه را حماقت مي‌داند
::
A Girl

The tree has entered my hands,
The sap has ascended my arms,
The tree has grown in my breast--
Downward,
The branches grow out of me, like arms.

Tree you are,
Moss you are,
You are violets with wind above them.
A child -- so high -- you are,
And all this is folly to the world ~ Ezra Pound
Ezra quotes by Ezra Pound
Love thou thy dream
All base love scorning,
Love thou the wind
And here take warning
That dreams alone can truly be,
For 'tis in dream I come to thee. ~ Ezra Pound
Ezra quotes by Ezra Pound
We are fast approaching that moment prophesied by Joseph Smith when he said: 'Even this nation will be on the very verge of crumbling to pieces and tumbling to the ground, and when the Constitution is upon the brink of ruin, this people will be on the staff upon which the nation shall lean, and they shall bear the Constitution away from the verge of destruction. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Money is the result of trust. Trust yourself and money will trust you. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
Political identities aren't about tax cuts. They are about tribes... This is the result of the incredible rise in political polarization in recent decades. It used to be that both the Republican and Democratic parties included both liberals and conservatives. Since parties contained ideological multitudes, it was hard for them to be the basis of strong, personal identities. A liberal Democrat in New Jersey didn't have a lot in common with a conservative Democrat in Alabama. But now that's changed. The parties are sharply sorted by ideology. What were once fractious coalitions have become unified tribes. ~ Ezra Klein
Ezra quotes by Ezra Klein
The expression "follow the Brethren" has a broader meaning than some would apply to it. It means not only to agree with the counsel given to the Church by the Brethren, but also to follow their example in appearance and deportment. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
I desired my dust to be mingled with yours
Forever and forever and forever. ~ Ezra Pound
Ezra quotes by Ezra Pound
Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah, 2 the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub, 3 the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth, 4 the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki, 5 the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest - 6 this Ezra came up from Babylon; and he was a skilled scribe in the Law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given. ~ Anonymous
Ezra quotes by Anonymous
Every member of the priesthood should understand the divine plan designed by the Lord to raise up the first free people in modern times. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Every great change is simple. ~ Ezra Pound
Ezra quotes by Ezra Pound
Some of the greatest battles will be fought within the silent chambers of your own soul. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
The more "in doubt" you are, the more serious you are, and the less alive you are. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
When you think for your child, you rob him of his only ability – to create. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
You have as much as you create. You create as much as you are willing to create. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
The purpose of validating yourself is to enable you to validate others. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
Things have ends (or scopes) and beginnings. To/ know what precedes and what follows will assist yr/ comprehension of process. ~ Ezra Pound
Ezra quotes by Ezra Pound
Objectivity and again objectivity, and expression: no hindside-before-ness, no straddled adjectives (as "addled mosses dank"), no Tennysonianness of speech; nothing-nothing that you couldn't, in some circumstance, in the stress of some emotion, actually say. ~ Ezra Pound
Ezra quotes by Ezra Pound
Force yourself to find something beautiful in everything you do and you will only do beautiful things. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
To communicate is to be cause. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
A little light, like a rushlight / to lead back to splendour. ~ Ezra Pound
Ezra quotes by Ezra Pound
The way I figured it, keeping quiet was safe. Words could betray you if you choose the wrong ones, or mean less if you used too many. ~ Robyn Schneider
Ezra quotes by Robyn Schneider
You're kidding, right?" Ezra barked. "We're not just going to wait." "I suppose we could help people clean up a bit," "Girl!" Ezra called out. "Big eyes!" Winter turned from what she was looking at. "Are you talking to me? ~ Obert Skye
Ezra quotes by Obert Skye
Many a man in his hour of trial has turned to the Book of Mormon and been enlightened, enlivened, and comforted. The psalms in the Old Testament have a special food for the soul of one in distress. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Our parents deserve our honor and respect for giving us life itself. Beyond this they almost always made countless sacrifices as they cared for and nurtured us through our infancy and childhood, provided us with the necessities of life, and nursed us through physical illnesses and the emotional stresses of growing up. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
T.S. Eliot's influence was enormous on my generation. Much more than Ezra Pound. I actually had to put T.S. Eliot books out of the house because my poetry was so influenced. Everything I wrote sounded like Eliot. ~ Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Ezra quotes by Lawrence Ferlinghetti
The Holy Ghost causes out feelings to be more tender. We feel more charitable and compassionate. We are calmer. We have a greater capacity to love. People want to be around us because our very countenances radiate the influence of the Spirit. We are more godly in character. As a result, we are more sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Ghost and thus able to comprehend spiritual things. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Each day the forces of evil and the forces of good enlist new recruits. Each day we personally make many decisions showing the cause we support. The final outcome is certain
the forces of righteousness will win. But what remains to be seen is where each of us personally, now and in the future, will stand in this battle
and how tall we will stand. Will we be true to our last days and fulfill our foreordained missions? ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
I'm from the dirty depths of New Jersey. ~ Ezra Miller
Ezra quotes by Ezra Miller
Artists are the antennae of the race. ~ Ezra Pound
Ezra quotes by Ezra Pound
In this universe ideas are senior to facts, and hence facts are stressed. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
All I know for sure is that issues like race, like class, are always best approached with compassion and open-mindedness. ~ Ezra Koenig
Ezra quotes by Ezra Koenig
Everybody feels like an outcast because the world is so large and every fingerprint is so vastly different from one another, and yet we have these standards and beliefs, and dogmatic systems of judgment and ranking, in almost all the societies of the world. ~ Ezra Miller
Ezra quotes by Ezra Miller
[On Ezra Pound:] A village explainer, excellent if you were a village, but if you were not, not. ~ Gertrude Stein
Ezra quotes by Gertrude Stein
Mothers play an important role as the heart of the home, but this in no way lessens the equally important role fathers should play, as head of the home, in nurturing, training, and loving their children. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
That the sole object and only legitimate end of government is to protect the citizen in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property, and when the government assumes other functions it is usurpation and oppression. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
My young sisters, we have such hope for you. We have such great expectations for you. Don't settle for less than what the Lord wants you to be ...
Give me a young woman who loves home and family, who reads and ponders the scriptures daily, who has a burning testimony of the Book of Mormon ... Give me a young woman who is virtuous and who has maintained her personal purity, who will not settle for less than a temple marriage, and I will give you a young woman who will perform miracles for the Lord now and throughout eternity. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Satan would have you believe that happiness comes only as you surrender to his enticements, but one only needs to look at the shattered lives of those who violate God's laws to know why Satan is called the Father of Lies. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
The pluses of life come with its minuses. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
I have a vision of the whole Church getting nearer to God by abiding by the precepts of the Book of Mormon. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Obviously I still gig on my own, but I've always heard my music with a band. ~ George Ezra
Ezra quotes by George Ezra
Scouting teaches a boy to take care of himself and stand on his own two feet. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Meditation on a passage of scripture ... led a young boy into a grove of trees to commune with his heavenly Father. That is what opened the heavens in this dispensation ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
I think an alliance with Stalin's Russia is rotten. ~ Ezra Pound
Ezra quotes by Ezra Pound
I love you," he said quickly. "If I don't come back ... "
"No," Ezra hissed. "No, you must."
"Know I loved you a lifetime's worth," Ambrose gasped. "A lifetime. ~ Abigail Roux
Ezra quotes by Abigail Roux
Doubt is an unwillingness to communicate. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
God does hear and answer prayers. I have never doubted that fact. From childhood, at my mother's knee where I first learned to pray; as a young man in my teens; as a missionary in foreign lands; as a father; as a Church leader; as a government official, I know without question that it is possible for men and women to reach out in humility and prayer and tap that Unseen Power; to have prayers answered. Man does not stand along, or, at least, he need not stand alone. Prayer will open doors; prayer will remove barriers; prayer will ease pressures; prayer will give inner peace and comfort during times of strain and stress and difficult. Thank God for prayer ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
I guess it's kind of the obvious thing for me to do 'cuz it's what I grew up listening to. The songs growing up and everything kind of seem like old music to them, but to me, it's just ... good music. And of course I did grow up in England in the 21st Century and that does come into it as well. ~ George Ezra
Ezra quotes by George Ezra
I shop only at thrift stores and vintage stores. In New York, I like a place called Star Struck, and a place called The Family Jewels. ~ Ezra Miller
Ezra quotes by Ezra Miller
Young people, you need the wisdom of age, just as some of us older ones need your enthusiasm for life. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
If you don't have money it is because you are in some kind of confusion. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
I am very much in love with no one in particular. ~ Ezra Miller
Ezra quotes by Ezra Miller
This is from me. For all the thousands of bad guys in your life." She gave a meaningful look to Ezra. Then she smugly held up a case.

Montgomery popped the catches and opened the top.

Oh, my gosh," she said.

Inside was a single piece of sharpened wood.

MR POINTY!" she screamed in delight.

You gave Buffy's weapon...her stake...to the cheerleader," David said with a whistle. "Sheer genius. ~ Tracy Lynn
Ezra quotes by Tracy Lynn
Since God created man with certain unalienable rights, and man, in turn, created government to help secure and safeguard those rights, it follows that man is superior to the creature which he created. Man is superior to government and should remain master over it, not the other way around. Even the non-believer can appreciate the logic of this relationship. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
There is none more lonely than the man who loves only himself. ~ Abraham Ibn Ezra
Ezra quotes by Abraham Ibn Ezra
When you reduce your knowingness you know you cannot help. If you cannot help, nothing can help you. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
And I am homesick After mine own kind that know, and feel And have some breath for beauty and the arts. ~ Ezra Pound
Ezra quotes by Ezra Pound
You will be as good as others see you as good. Others will be as good as you see them as good. ~ Meir Ezra
Ezra quotes by Meir Ezra
Freedom can be killed by neglect as well as by direct attack. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Ezra quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
I have a lot of really wonderful friends who are of very different sexes and genders. ~ Ezra Miller
Ezra quotes by Ezra Miller
'The Wizard of Oz' is my favorite movie. It was the first movie I can ever remember watching. ~ Ezra Miller
Ezra quotes by Ezra Miller
But you know what? When I die, everybody is invited to come take a selfie at my funeral. Except for my enemies. They're not invited to the funeral, period. ~ Ezra Koenig
