The Prophet Joseph Smith:
“It is not wisdom that we should have all
knowledge at once presented before us; but that we should have a little at a
time; then we can comprehend it.
“When you climb up a ladder, you must
begin at the bottom, and ascend step by step, until you arrive at the top; and
so it is with the principles of the gospel—you must begin with the first, and
go on until you learn all the principles of exaltation” (Teachings of
Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith [2007], 268).
