True Success in Education True success in education, as in everything else, is found in keeping the future life in view. The human family have scarcely begun to live when they begin to die, and the world’s incessant labor ends in nothingness unless a true knowledge in regard to eternal life is gained. He who appreciates probationary time as the preparatory school of life will use it to secure to himself a title to the heavenly mansions, a membership in the higher school. For this school the youth are to be educated, disciplined, and trained by forming such characters as God will approve. {CT 21.1}

Sand fremgang i uddannelse
(21) Sand fremgang i uddannelse er, som i alt andet, funderet på at holde det fremtidige liv for øjesyn. Menneskefamilien var knapt nok begyndt at leve da de begyndte at dø, og verdens uophørlige arbejde ender i intethed, medmindre en sand kundskab om det evige liv opnås. Han som påskønner prøvetiden som livets forberedelsesskole vil bruge det til at sikre sig selv en adkomst til de himmelske boliger, et medlemskab i den højere skole. For i denne skole skal de unge uddannes, opdrages, og trænes ved at forme en karakter som Gud vil værdsætte.
