Because time is short, we should work with diligence and double energy. Our children may never enter college, but they can obtain an education in those essential branches which they can turn to a practical use and which will give culture to the mind and bring its powers into use. Very many youth who have gone through a college course have not obtained that true education that they can put to practical use. They may have the name of having a collegiate education, but in reality they are only educated dunces. {3T 159.1}

Fordi tiden er kort, bør vi arbejde med flid og for dobbelt kraft. Vore børn kan aldrig komme i college, men de kan opnå en uddannelse i de vigtige grene som de kan vende til praktisk brug og som vil give opelskelse for sind og væsen og bringe dets kræfter i brug. Rigtig mange unge som er gået igennem et college har ikke opnået den rigtige uddannelse som de kan anvende i praksis. De kan have college-uddannelsens navn, men i virkeligheden er de bare uddannede dumrianer.
