“No one knows anything about Christ’s work simply by being born a member of the Church, and often he knows little about it after years of unmotivated exposure in meetings or classes. He must learn. And learning involves self-investment and effort. The gospel should be studied as carefully as any science. The literature of the Church must be acquired and read. Our learning should be increased in our spare time day by day. Then as we put the gospel truth to work in daily life, we will never find it wanting. We will be literate in the most important field of knowledge in the universe, knowledge for lack of which men and nations perish, in the light of which men and nations may be saved.”
Elder Marion D. Hanks
"It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succor of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule."
Gandolf, in J.R.TOLKIEN, The Return of the King, 190.
"The spirit which inhabits these tabernacles naturally loves truth, it naturally loves light and intelligence, it naturally loves virtue, God and godliness; but [the spirit] being so closely united with the flesh, their sympathies are blended...the spirit is indeed subject to be influenced by the sin that is in the mortal body, and to be overcome by it...unless it is constantly enlightened by the spirit which enlighteneth every man that cometh into the world..."
Brigham Young, JD II:237-238
