"It is important that we remember also that no matter how intelligent we
may be, no matter how hard we work, no matter how good our teachers are or how
favorable the other conditions for learning, in our allotted span of years on
earth we can master only a very small fraction of the total field of knowledge;
and what we do master usually is in a narrowed-down, specialized area.
Consequently, we, in and of ourselves, have limitations. Our thinking is often
highly selective and segmented and our judgment is often faulty. Should we not,
then, be willing to heed the counsel given by Solomon:
"'Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own
understanding.
"'In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.' (Prov.
3:5-6.)" - William H. Bennett, "Help
Needed in the Shaded Areas," Ensign, June 1971, p. 107
“The gospel of
Jesus Christ can resolve those inner conflicts and bring inner peace and outer
peace as well. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the most valuable, the most needed
message by the world today. It is the answer to the problems that grow out of
man’s selfishness and greed, where such a high percentage of the problems arise.
The gospel teaches us to build rather than to destroy, to help people to give of
themselves in unselfish service to others rather than being on the receiving end
of things most of the time.” - William H. Bennett,
“Conference Report,” October 1970, Afternoon Meeting, p. 148
