Copper Gold
For instance, consider the substance of copper. Were it to be protected in its own mine from becoming solidified, it would, within the space of seventy years, attain to the state of gold.
- Bahá’u’lláh, The Ki tab-i-Ian, p. 157
The copper of scorn and derision will be transmuted into the gold of honor and praise.

Quote of the Day
Jamal 4 Jalal 183 B.E.
And this is clear: a power above and beyond the powers of nature must needs be brought to bear, to change this black darkness into light, and these hatreds and resentments, grudges and spites, these endless wrangles and wars, into fellowship and love amongst all the peoples of the earth. This power is none other than the breathings of the Holy Spirit and the mighty inflow of the Word of God.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, p. 52
