A young man can do nothing more important. School can wait. Scholarships
can be deferred. Occupational goals can be postponed. Yes, even temple
marriage should wait until after a young man has served an honorable
full-time mission for the Lord.
Now, why do I mention this to you young women this evening? Because you can have a positive influence in motivating young men to serve full-time missions. Let the young men of your acquaintance know that you expect them to assume their missionary responsibilities, that you personally want them to serve in the mission field, because you know that’s where the Lord wants them.
~Ezra Taft Benson, Oct. 1986

To be worn out by service"
