Spencer W. Kimball -- Beloved Youth, Study and Learn

Can you see that the seminary courses should be given even preferential attention over the high school subjects; the institute over the college course; the study of the scriptures ahead of the study of man-written texts; the association with the Church more important than clubs, fraternities, and sororities; the payment of tithing more important than paying tuitions and fees?

Can you see that the ordinances of the temple are more important than the PhD or any and all other academic degrees? (Beloved Youth, Study and Learn, in Life’s Directions: A Series of Fireside Addresses, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1962, p. 190)
