This man was the most inspired man to live, speak and teach in my lifetime. His views have shaped mine - and I love him for his courage and commitment to truth:
"We are far removed from the days of our forefathers who were persecuted
for their peculiar beliefs. Some of us seem to want to share their
reward but are ofttimes afraid to stand up for principles that are
controversial in our generation. We need not solicit persecution, but
neither should we remain silent in the presence of overwhelming evil,
for this makes cowards of men. We should not go out of the path of duty
to pick up a cross there is no need to bear, but neither should we
sidestep a cross that clearly lies within the path of duty.” (Ezra Taft
Benson)
