Education to Be Guarded—The mind will be of the same character as that upon which it feeds, the harvest of the same nature as the seed sown. Do not these facts sufficiently show the necessity of guarding from the earliest years the education of the youth? Would it not be better for the youth to grow up in a degree of ignorance as to what is commonly accepted as education than for them to become careless in regard to the truth of God?—Testimonies for the Church 6:194 (1900). {1MCP 188.3}

Pas på uddannelsen. - Sindet bliver af samme karakter som de ting, det fyldes med og høsten bliver af samme natur som udsæden. Er ikke disse kendsgerninger nok til at vise nødvendigheden af at overvåge de unges uddannelse fra de tidligste år? Ville det ikke være bedre for de unge at vokse op i en vis grad af uvidenhed med hensyn til, hvad man i almindelighed forstår ved uddannelse, end at de skulle blive ligegyldige angående Guds sandhed? - vidnesbyrd 6 194 (1900).
