"Chapter 2—Our College The education and training of the youth is an important and solemn work. The great object to be secured should be the proper development of character, that the individual may be fitted to rightly discharge the duties of the present life, and to enter at last upon the future, immortal life. Eternity will reveal the manner in which the work has been performed. If ministers and teachers could have a full sense of their responsibility, we should see a different state of things in the world today. But they are too narrow in their views and purposes. They do not realize the importance of their work, or its results. CE 24"
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
The EGW passage directly addresses the importance of education and training of youth to develop character, which aligns with the principle of Proverbs 22:6 to train up a child in the way he should go.
"not obtain the mastery. The Spirit of God must control. They must walk humbly with God, and they should feel their responsibility, which is not less than that of the minister. The influence which professors and teachers exert upon the youth in our College, will be carried wherever these youth may go. A sacred influence should go forth from that College to meet the moral darkness existing everywhere. When I was shown by the angel of God that an institution should be established for the education of our youth, I saw that it would be one of the greatest means ordained of God for the salvation of souls. CE 24.2"
"He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"
The phrase "walk humbly with God" is a direct quote from Micah 6:8. EGW uses this phrase in the context of educators and their responsibility, directly alluding to the biblical verse.
