Bahá’í Quotes

Heroes

And remind them that they are the illumined souls envisioned by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in His prayer:  "Heroes are they, O my Lord, lead them to the field of battle.  Guides are they, make them to speak out with arguments and proofs.  Ministering servants are they, cause them to pass round the cup that brimmeth with the wine of certitude.  O my God, make them to be songsters that carol in fair gardens, make them lions that couch in the thickets, whales that plunge in the vasty deep.

Quote of the Day

Idal 2 Sharaf 182 B.E.

Humanity is now experiencing the commotions invariably associated with the most turbulent stage of its evolution, the stage of adolescence, when the impetuosity of youth and its vehemence reach their climax, and must gradually be superseded by the calmness, the wisdom, and the maturity that characterize the stage of manhood.
