"With a Spirit-derived assurance in place, you can go forward in the Lord’s work and continue deepening your relationship with your Heavenly Father while pursuing or awaiting answers. If you determine to sit still, paralyzed until every question is answered and every whisper of doubt resolved, you will never move because in this life there will always be some issue pending or something yet unexplained."
("The Prophet Joseph Smith", Elder D. Todd Christofferson, BYU-I Devotional, Sep 24, 2013)
He also quoted this from Alexander Pope
A little learning is a dangerous thing;It will do anyone well to not stop with shallow learning.
drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
and drinking largely sobers us again.

This was an excellent address, and I love the part where he told everyone not to study shallowly but rather to dig deep.
Thanks Papa D, I added that quote to the post.
