Quotes from Lorenzo Snow:
"In
this system of religion that you and I have received there is something
grand and glorious, and something new to learn every day, that is of
great value. And it is not only our privilege but it is necessary that
we receive these things and gather these new ideas."
"The
whole idea of Mormonism is improvement—mentally, physically, morally
and spiritually. No half-way education suffices for the Latter-day
Saint."
"There
are some who do not learn, and who do not improve as fast as they
might, because their eyes and their hearts are not upon God; they do not
reflect, neither do they have that knowledge which they might have;
they miss a good deal which they might receive. We have got to obtain
knowledge before we obtain permanent happiness; we have got to be wide
awake in the things of God."
"Though
we may now neglect to improve our time, to brighten up our intellectual
faculties, we shall be obliged to improve them sometime. We have got so
much ground to walk over, and if we fail to travel to-day, we shall
have so much more to travel to-morrow."
