Those who hunger for knowledge that they may bless their fellow men will themselves receive blessing from God. Through the study of His Word their mental powers will be aroused to earnest activity. There will be an expansion and development of the faculties, and the mind will acquire power and efficiency. MYP 175.1
Self-discipline must be practiced by every one who would be a worker for God. This will accomplish more than eloquence or the most brilliant talents.—Christ's Object Lessons, 333-335. MYP 175.2
