Bahá’í Quotes

Accomplishments

Rejoice not in what ye have done, or will do in the future . . . for ye are unable by such means as these to exalt your stations, were ye to examine your works with acute discernment . . . Nay, God will add unto the recompense with which He shall reward Us, for having sustained with persevering patience the tribulations We have suffered. He, verily, shall increase the reward of them that endure with patience.
