One of the things I loved the most about the Education in
Zion Exhibit was the sheer number of amazing quotes throughout the gallery. Even
though they are quotes from people that may have lived hundreds of years before
us, we can still learn a lot from what they had to say. So, I thought I would
share one of the quotes I found in the exhibit.
“I tell you, my young
brothers and sisters, [once] you have been caught up in the spirit of Brigham
Young University you will never be the same… Each of you have a spark inside
you which the Lord will someday kindle and make of you an instrument in His
hands to bring the world not only sorely needed secular excellence of the
University, but the spirit of the Church, the spirit of BYU, and the spirit of
the gospel, which I testify to you to be one and the same.”
-Albert Swensen, class of 1938
I really love how the Education in Zion Exhibit focusses on
the reality of education being never ending. This quote really explains how
Heavenly Father has such a big role in each of our individual educations. It
also makes me realize that we are offered such a unique opportunity at BYU. We
are able to study many various types of secular knowledge, while at the same
time we can take religion classes that increase our spirituality. I think
knowing and understanding this helps each of us take advantage of the wonderful
opportunities we are given at BYU.
