Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 297

"Let us never lose sight of the fact that education is a preparation for life -- and that preparing for life is far more than knowing how to make a living or how to land on the moon. Preparing for life means building personal integrity, developing a sound sense of values, increasing the capacity and willingness to serve. Education must have its roots in moral principles. If we lose sight of that fact in our attempt to match our educational system against that of the materialists, we shall have lost far more than we could possibly gain."

Doctrines of Salvation, 1:321-322

"There is no knowledge, no learning that can compensate the individual for the loss of his belief in heaven and in the saving principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. An education that leads a man from these central truths cannot compensate him for the great loss of spiritual things."

Gordon B. Hinckley, "Inspirational Thoughts," Ensign, June 1999, 4

"It is so important that you young men and you young women get all of the education that you can. The Lord has said very plainly that His people are to gain knowledge of countries and kingdoms and of things of the world through the process of education, even by study and by faith."

"Inspirational Thoughts," Ensign, June 1999, 4

David A. Bednar, “The Glory of God Is Intelligence,” Friend, Oct. 2007, 6

“I have spent most of my life involved in education. When I was younger, I thought education meant going to school, taking tests, and getting good grades. But as I grew older, I began to learn the difference between doing well in school and becoming educated. A person can do well on tests and still not be educated. True education is learning how to learn. Once I discovered that lesson, learning became fun.”

New Era Magazine, “Special Issue: Education—Learn Wisdom In Thy Youth,” New Era, Sep 1992, 4

"Learning wisdom is a lifelong process. It starts before your first day of school and doesn’t end when you die. It is the thing you carry with you through the eternities.

Just as Jesus taught those who desired to know the truth, he can continue to be your guide and your teacher in your search for eternal truth.

The education of the heart, of the conscience, and of the spirit, along with the education of the mind, truly is higher education."

L. Tom Perry, "Mothers Teaching Children in the Home," General Conference April 2010

"My mother understood the value of teaching her children about standards, values, and doctrine while they were young. While she was grateful to others who taught her children outside the home at either school or church, she recognized that parents are entrusted with the education of their children and, ultimately, parents must ensure that their children are being taught what their Heavenly Father would have them learn."

I loved this talk in the most recent General Conference!

M. Russell Ballard, “Learning the Lessons of the Past,” Ensign, May 2009, 31–34

"Learning the lessons of the past allows you to walk boldly in the light without running the risk of stumbling in the darkness. This is the way it’s supposed to work. This is God’s plan: father and mother, grandfather and grandmother teaching their children; children learning from them and then becoming a more righteous generation through their own personal experiences and opportunities. Learning the lessons of the past allows you to build personal testimony on a solid bedrock of obedience, faith, and the witness of the Spirit."
