“Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth Me.” Jeremiah 9:23, 24.... Let us seek to follow the counsel of God in all things; for He is infinite in wisdom. Though we have come short of doing what we might have done for our youth and children in the past, let us now repent, and redeem the time.—Special Testimonies On Education, 197-202; written April 28, 1896. {CT 46.1}

»Så siger Herren: Den vise rose sig ikke af sin visdom, den stærke ikke af sin styrke, den rige ikke af sin rigdom; men den, som vil rose sig, skal rose sig af at han har forstand til at kende mig.« Jeremias 9, 23.24 . . . . Lad os søge at følge Guds råd i alle ting; for Han er uendelig i visdom. Skønt vi ikke har fået gjort det vi skulle have gjort for vore unge og børn i fortiden, så lad os nu angre, og genløse tiden. - Særlige vidnesbyrd om uddannelse, 197-202; skrevet 28. april, 1896.
