- The enterprise of education functions best when it is driven by the initiative of the individual. (When a person has sufficient desire, nothing can stop him from learning what is desired.)
- The motive which fully unlocks human ability to learn and to teach is the earnest desire to bless others according to the will of the Father.
- The great keys of learning are the same which make righteousness and repentance possible: Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; Repentance: Making the covenant of baptism; Receiving the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands; Enduring to the end.
- The greatest thing to learn in this world is to learn to have all of the character traits of Jesus Christ.
- To facilitate the opportunity for another person to become as Jesus Christ is the greatest blessing that anyone can give to another.
- The unerring guide to all truth and correctness in all learning is the Holy Ghost.
- The most important idea any person can come to understand is the meaning and significance of the two great commandments of Jesus Christ.
- Every person who keeps the two great commandments acquires the Savior’s character and proceeds to learn everything else. Different persons do and should begin on different edges of everything else, but for each of us, our personal something else leads to the wholeness of Christ.
