God sees that which the blind eyes of educators cannot discern, that immorality of every kind and degree is striving for the mastery, working against the manifestations of the power of the Holy Spirit. The commonest of conversation, and cheap, perverted ideas, are woven into the texture of the character. {8T 65.3}

Gud ser det som den blinde lærer ikke kan se, nemlig at umoralskhed af enhver slags og i enhver grad vil have herredømme og arbejde imod Helligåndens krafts tilkendegivelser. Den tarveligste samtale og billige, forvanskede ideer, indvæves i karakterens struktur.
