Quote help

Post by ktg »

I'm looking for a quote that states something like our country should spread our Constitution/Liberty to the world through good example, not by force. Seems it might have been from Pres. Benson.

I don't know if you're looking for a specific quote, but there is quite a bit of that in J. Reuben Clark's famous article: http://www.latterdayconservative.com/ar ... ave-peace/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
See section 2/3 the way down on moral vs. physical force.

In fact, John Taylor said,

“Besides the preaching of the Gospel, we have another mission, namely, the perpetuation of the free agency of man and the maintenance of liberty, freedom, and the rights of man.” –General Conference April 1882
