The Lord wants you to train your minds and hands to become an influence for good as you go forward with your lives. And as you do so and as you perform honorably and with excellence, you will bring honor to the Church, for you will be regarded as a man or woman of integrity and ability and conscientious workmanship.  In addition, your education will strengthen your service in the Church.

-Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley, "Words of the Prophet: Seek Learning"
