"The Founding Fathers understood the principle that 'righteousness exalteth a nation' (Proverbs 14:34), and helped to bring about one of the greatest systems ever used to govern men.  But unless we continue to seek righteousness and preserve the liberties entrusted to us, we shall lose the blessings of heaven. . . . The price of freedom is also to live in accordance with the commandments of God"  (The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 601).
