Contentment
The source of all glory is acceptance of whatsoever the Lord hath bestowed, and contentment with that which God hath ordained.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 155
Whatsoever instilleth assurance into the hearts of men, whatsoever exalteth their station or promoteth their contentment, is acceptable in the sight of God.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 205
Therefore the people of Bahá must not fall prey to the corruption of the ruthless, but rather cling to contentment and moderation.
- The Universal House of Justice, Messages 1963 to 1986, p. 437
Most necessary to thy well-being is contentment (al-qana'at) under all circumstances for through it will the soul be saved from sloth and ill-being.

Quote of the Day
Jalal 13 Qudrat 182 B.E.
Oppression is the wind that doth fan the fire of the Love of God. Welcome persecution and bitterness. A soldier may bear arms, but until he hath faced the enemy in battle he hath not earned his place in the king's army. Let nothing defeat you. God is your helper. God is invincible. Be firm in the Heavenly Covenant. Pray for strength. It will be given to you, no matter how difficult the conditions.
