Copper 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
Istiqlal 19 Kalimat 183 B.E.
When criticism and harsh words arise within a Bahá’í community there is no remedy except to put the past behind one and persuade all concerned to turn over a new leaf, and, for the sake of God and His Faith, refrain from mentioning the subjects which have led to misunderstanding and inharmony.
