this was from President Hinckley but there has been something more recent by President Monson

Quote:
As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints the responsibility is ours to observe the commandment to study and to learn. The Lord said: “Seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith.” (D&C 88:118.)

He further made it clear that our search for truth must be limitless, that we are to learn “of things both in heaven and in the earth, and under the earth; things which have been, things which are, things which must shortly come to pass; things which are at home, things which are abroad; the wars and the perplexities of the nations, and the judgments which are on the land; and a knowledge also of countries and of kingdoms.” (D&C 88:79.)

The Lord has given us the assignment to grow constantly toward eternity! None of us can assume that he has learned enough. As the door closes on one phase of life, it opens on another, where we must continue to gain further knowledge.

Ours ought to be an unending search for truth—a search that must include spiritual and religious truth as well as worldly knowledge. And as we grow and progress, let us look for the good, the beautiful, the positive.
