Character is the aim of true education; and science, history, and literature are but means used to accomplish this desired end.  Character is not the result of chance, but of continuous right thinking and right acting.  True education seeks to make men and women not only good mathematicians, proficient linguists, profound scientists, or brilliant literary lights, but also, honest men , with virtue, temperance, and brotherly love,  Its seeks to make men and women who prize truth, justice, wisdom, benevolence, and self-control as the choicest acquisitions of a successful life.

-David O. McKay, pg 160
