Inspiring

I was contemplating my decision to return to school the other day (because of the length of time) when I came across some quotes about education. They completely reinspired me and I wanted to share.

"Because of our sacred regard for human intellect, we consider the obtaining of an education to be a religious responsibility...Our Creator expects His children everywhere to educate themselves." Elder Russell M. Nelson

"It is so important that you young men and you young women get all the education that you can. The Lord has said very plainly that His people are to gian knowledge of countries and kingdoms and of things of the world through the process of education, even by study and by faith. Education is the key which will unlock the door of opportunity for you. It is worth sacrificing for. It is worth working at, and if you educate your mind and your hands, you will be able to make a great contribution to the society of which you are a part, and you will be able to reflect honorably on the Church of which you are a member. My dear young brothers and sisters, take advantage of every education opportunity that you can possibly afford, and you fathers and mothers, encourage your sons and daughters to gain an education which will bless their lives." President Gordon B. Hinckley

"Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection. And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come." D&C 130: 18-19
