Our Secret Motives Decide Destiny—Our acts, our words, even our most secret motives, all have their weight in deciding our destiny for weal or woe. Though they may be forgotten by us, they will bear their testimony to justify or to condemn.—The Great Controversy, 486, 487 (1911). {1MCP 348.1}

Vore skjulte motiver afgør skæbnen. - Vore handlinger, vore ord, ja, selv vore skjulte motiver øver indflydelse på vor skæbne til frelse eller fortabelse. Selv det, vi har glemt, vil enten retfærdiggøre eller fordømme os. - Dss s. 430 (1911).
