If the youth understood their own weakness, they would find in God their strength. If they seek to be taught by Him, they will become wise in His wisdom, and their lives will be fruitful of blessing to the world. But if they give up their minds to mere worldly and speculative study, and thus separate from God, they will lose all that enriches life. {8T 311.5}

Hvis de unge forstod deres egen svaghed, ville de finde deres styrke i Gud. Hvis de forsøger at blive oplært af ham, vil de blive kloge i hans visdom og deres liv vil blive til brugbar velsignelse i verden. Men hvis de overgiver deres sind til ren og skær verdslige og spekulative studier og derved adskille sig fra Gud, vil de miste alt der beriger livet.
