"One of the snares in the path of a young missionary is the temptation to put other than first things first—in other words, to 'potter' or 'fritter' precious time away on non-essentials, instead of bravely facing the inevitable hard task of regular language study. Many a missionary has gone through his or her missionary career with the great handicap of insufficient knowledge of either the written or spoken language because of having fallen into this trap."
—from Goforth of China
