Insanity
Ameen, son of Khan's younger sister Hamideh, a direct descendant of the old historian, was not of a lineage to be envied, for it was said that the posterity of that ancestor were under the curse of insanity because of his slanderous attacks on the Faith of the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh.
- Marzieh Gail, Arches of the Years, p. 66
With the love of God all sciences are accepted and beloved, but without it, are fruitless; nay, rather the cause of insanity.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Bahá’í World Faith, p. 366
Quote of the Day
Istijlal 17 Sharaf 182 B.E.
Thou knowest that the people are encircled with pain and calamities and are environed with hardships and trouble. Every trial doth attack man and every dire adversity doth assail him like unto the assault of a serpent. There is no shelter and asylum for him except under the wing of Thy protection, preservation, guard and custody.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá v3, p. 619
