"Give your children intellectual culture and moral training. Fortify their young minds with firm, pure principles. While you have opportunity, lay the foundation for a noble manhood and womanhood. Your labor will be rewarded a thousandfold. CT 131.1"
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Both passages emphasize the importance of training children in a way that will lead to positive outcomes in their lives. Proverbs 22:6 speaks of training a child so they won't depart from it when old, while EGW speaks of laying the foundation for noble character and being rewarded.
"of the godly influences of their homes, have surrendered their hearts to Him, and go forth to give Him the highest service of their lives. Directed and trained by the godly instruction of the home, the influence of the morning and evening worship, the consistent example of parents who love and fear God, they have learned to submit to God as their teacher and are prepared to render Him acceptable service as loyal sons and daughters. Such youth are prepared to represent to the world the power and grace of Christ. CT 131.3"
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
The EGW passage elaborates on the principle found in Proverbs 22:6, which encourages training up a child in the way they should go. EGW describes the positive outcomes of godly influences in the home, leading children to serve God. The connection is direct and reinforces the importance of early training and its lasting impact.
