Education


“To penetrate and dissipate these clouds of darkness, the general mind must be strengthened by education” -Thomas Jefferson

"You belong to a church that teaches the importance of education. You have a mandate from the Lord to educate your minds and your hearts and your hands. . . . There can be no doubt, none whatever, that education pays. Do not short-circuit your lives. If you do so, you will pay for it over and over and over again."—Gordon B. Hinckley, “A Prophet’s Counsel and Prayer for Youth,” Ensign, Jan. 2001, 4, 7
I guess if the writer of the Declaration of Independence and a Prophet of God said education was important then I might be able to wake up and go to school tomorrow.

Here in GVille Education falls by the wayside when it comes to sports and hunting.
