* Let
evey head of household see to it that he has on hand enough food and
clothing and, where possible, fuel also for at least a year ahead.... * There is a wise old saying " Eat it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without". Thrift is a practice of not wasting anything. Some people are able to get by because of the absence o expense. They have their shoes resoled, they patch, they mend, they sew, and they save money. They avoid installment buying, and make purchases only after saving enough to pay cash, thus avoiding interest charges. James E. Faust * The Lord
has warned us of famines, but the righteous will have listened to the
prophet and stored at least a years supply of survival food. * The revelation to store food may be as essential to our temporal salvation today as boarding the ark was to the people in the days of Noah. Ezra Taft Benson * The
revelation to produce and stoe food may be as essential to our temporal
welfare today as boarding the ark was to the people in the days of
Noah." * We will
see the day when we will live on what we produce. * Ye
Latter-Day Saints, learn to sustain yourselves, produce everything you
need to eat, dink, or wear.... * Our
emphasis on this subject is not grounds for crisis thinking or panic.
Quite the contrary, personal and family preparedness should be a way of
provident living, an orderly approach to using the resources, gifts,
and talents the Lord shares with us. So the first step is to teach our
people to be self-reliant and independent through proper preparation
for daily life.

* For the moment we live in a day of peace, but it shall not ever be thus. Great trials lie ahead... and we must prepare ourselves temporally and spiritually. Bruce R. McConkie * There is no person who knows the real purpose for which this welfare program is being instituted but hardly before sufficient preparation has been made the real purpose will be revealed and when that time comes it will challenge every resource of the church to meet it. Harold B. Lee * When people are able but unwilling to take care of themselves we are responsible to employ the dictum of the Lord that the idler shall not eat the bread of the laborer. Boyd K Packer * The time
will come that gold will hold no comparison in value to a bushel of
wheat. * No man is truly fee who is financial bondage. ‘Think what you do when you run in debt,' said Benjamin Franklin, 'you give another power over your liberty.' Ezra T. Benson * Relief
Society stands for self-reliance. The best food storage is not in
welfare grain elevators but in sealed cans and bottles in the homes of
our people. What a gratifying thing it is to see cans of wheat and rice
and beans under the beds or in the pantries of women who have taken
welfare responsibility into their own hands.
