Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students
work they will gain much that others will fail to gain. Those who
form habits of patient, persevering industry will accomplish more
than those of quick, vivacious, brilliant mind, who, though grasping
the point quickly, lose it just as readily. The patient ones, though
slower to learn, will stand ahead of those who learn so quickly that
they do not need to study.

Students should not be so pressed with studies as to neglect
the culture of the manners; and above all, they should let nothing
interfere with their seasons of prayer, which bring them in connection
with Christ. In no case should they deprive themselves of religious
privileges.
