The Wisdom of Knowing What We Know
REAL power, real excellence, does not seek for a foil in imperfections, nor fear contamination from coming in contact with that which is coarse and homely. It reposes on itself, and is equally free from spleen and affectation. A SENSIBLE brother who had just united with the church, on being asked to explain some points of the doctrine, replied, “I will explain as far as I understand it, but for the rest you must wait till I learn more.” That was certainly a sensible conclusion. Never explain things farther than you know them, and for the rest wait till you learn it. Children should learn to walk before they attempt to run.—Brethren at Work.
