There is need of everyone in every school and in every other institution being, as was Daniel, in such close connection with the Source of all wisdom that he will be enabled to reach the highest standard in every line. The love and fear of God was before Daniel; and conscious of his amenability to God, he trained all his powers to respond as far as possible to the loving care of the Great Teacher. The four Hebrew children would not allow selfish motives and love of amusements to occupy the golden moments of life. They worked with willing heart and ready mind. This is no higher standard than every Christian youth may reach. {CT 283.4}

På enhver skole og alle andre institutioner har enhver, ligesom Daniel, brug for en tæt forbindelse med al visdoms Kildeudspring, så han ville kunne nå den højeste standard i enhver linje. Guds kærlighed og frygt var for Daniel; og i samvittighedsfuld lydighed over for Gud, oplærte han alle sine kræfter til at reagere så vidt muligt på den Store Lærers elskelige omsorg. De fire hebræiske børn ville ikke tillade (284) selviske motiver og kærlighed til fornøjelser optage livets gyldne øjeblikke. De arbejdede med villigt hjerte og parat sind. Der er ikke en højere standard end denne de unge kristne kan nå.
