We need missionaries to match our message.

It is the mark of a truly educated man to know what not to read.

The way to feel better about your own situation is to improve someone else’s circumstances.

The Lord is pleased with every effort, even the tiny, daily ones in which we strive to be more like Him.

Pride... limits or stops progression. The proud are not easily taught. They won't change their minds to accept truths, because to do so implies they have been wrong.

Let us never lose sight of the fact that education is a preparation for life - and that preparing for life is far more than knowing how to make a living or how to land on the moon. Preparing for life means building personal integrity, developing a sound sense of values, increasing the capacity and willingness to serve. Education must have its roots in moral principles. If we lose sight of that fact in our attempt to match our educational system against that of the materialists, we shall have lost far more than we could possibly gain.
