“The word intelligence, as used in common speech, means readiness in learning, quickness of mind.
The intelligent man is he who seeks knowledge and uses it in accordance with the plan of the Lord for human good…..When men follow the light their knowledge will always be well used.
…Thus it often happens that a person of limited knowledge but who earnestly and prayerfully obeys the law, rises to a higher intelligence or wisdom, than one of vast Gospel learning who does not comply in his daily life with the requirements of the Gospel. Obedience to law is a mark of intelligence.”
Elder John A. Widtsoe
