Overtaxing the Mind—The student who desires to put the work of two years into one should not be permitted to have his own way. To undertake to do double work means, with many, overtaxation of the mind and neglect of physical exercise. It is not reasonable to suppose that the mind can assimilate an oversupply of mental food; and it is as great a sin to overload the mind as it is to overload the digestive organs.—Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 296 (1913). {1MCP 112.2}

Overbelaste sindet. - Den studerende som ønsker at bringe to års arbejde ned til et, bør ikke have lov at få sin egen metode. At påtage sig dobbelt arbejde, betyder for mange overbebyrdelse af sindet og forsømme fysiske øvelser. Det er ikke rigtigt at tro at sindet kan optage en overdosis af mental føde; og det er en lige så stor synd at overbelaste sindet, som at overbelaste fordøjelsesorganerne. - CT 296 (1913).
