Bahá’í Quotes

Ambition

Let your ambition be the achievement on earth of a Heavenly civilization!

- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 98

With regard to the things of the spirit they are as lifeless as a stone; nor do they wish to be otherwise . . . But man's ambition should soar above this -- he should ever look higher than himself, ever upward and onward, until through the Mercy of God he may come to the Kingdom of Heaven.

- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 71

Quote of the Day

Idal 1 Qudrat 183 B.E.

Adorn your heads with the garlands of trustworthinessand fidelity, your hearts with the attire of the fear of God, your tongues with absolute truthfulness, your bodies with the vesture of courtesy. These are in truth seemly adornings unto the temple of man, if ye be of them that reflect.
