God has given inquiring minds to youth and children. Their reasoning powers are entrusted to them as precious talents. It is the duty of parents to keep the matter of their education before them in its true meaning; for it comprehends many lines. They should be taught to improve every talent, expecting that all will be used in the service of Christ for the uplifting of fallen humanity. {CT 200.3}

Gud har givet børn og unge videbegærlige sind. Deres fornuft er betroet til dem, som dyrebare talenter. Det er forældres pligt at fremholde deres uddannelse foran dem i sin sande betydning; for det indbefatter mange linjer. De bør lære at udnytte ethvert talent, forvente at alt vil blive brugt i Kristi tjeneste for at opløfte den faldne menneskehed.
