of God And I wish to say to the Young Ladies when the young Brethren make proposals of Marriage to them dont ask them how many carriages they have got or how much gold & silver, but ask are they virtueous, honest, industrious are they saints & willing to obey council if so marry them & God will bless you.
~ Wilford Woodruff
Lay up your wheat I do not feel that a great deal is necessary to be said upon this subject. I think the visitation of the grass hoppers another year will cause us all to lay up wheat if we can get it without much preaching
