"Not all knowledge has the same worth - nor are all truths equally valuable. The truths upon which our eternal salvation rests are the most crucial truths that we must learn. . . The most essential knowledge for you to obtain is the saving knowledge of the gospel and its author - even Jesus Christ."
-President Ezra Taft Benson, The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, page 295
"Learning is not a spectator sport. Fundamentally, the responsibility to learn is yours and yours alone... For learning to happen in any course, you must take an active role in the process."
("Enhancing student readiness to learn," The Teaching Professor, October 2006, p. 1)
To live more fully each hour and to glean the most from each day is wisdom. How unwise we are to waste our today's when they determine the significance of our tomorrows. We should wisely live a day at a time because that is all we have.
-Marvin J. Ashton, Ensign, May 1975, 85
"God desires that we learn and continue to learn, but this involves some unlearning. As Uncle Zeke said: 'It ain't my ignorance that done me up but what I know'd that wasn't so.' The ultimate evil is the closing of the mind or stealing it against truth, resulting in the hardening of intellectual arteries."
-Hugh B. Brown, Continuing to Learn
"Knowledge of truth, combined with proper regard for it, and its faithful observance, constitutes true education. The mere stuffing of the mind with a knowledge of facts is not education. The mind must not only possess a knowledge of truth, but the soul must revere it, cherish it, love it as a priceless gem."
-Joseph F. Smith, Gospel Doctrine (1986), 269
