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
