It is the duty of all to observe strict rules in their habits of life. This is for your own good, dear youth, both physically and morally. When you rise in the morning, take into consideration, as far as possible, the work you must accomplish during the day. If necessary, have a small book in which to jot down the things that need to be done, and set yourself a time in which to do your work.—The Youth’s Instructor, January 28, 1897. {Ev 652.2}

Det er alles pligt at holde livsvanerne i strenge tøjler. Det er for jeres eget bedste, kære unge, både fysisk og moralsk. Når I står op om morgnen, så tænk i videst muligt omfang, på det arbejde som I skal udrette i løbet af dagen. Hav om nødvendigt en lille bog med, til at skrive de ting ned som behøver at blive gjort, og sæt jeres tid til side til at gøre jeres arbejde i.—The Youth’s Instructor, 28. januar, 1897.
