Distinction
If a man would seek distinction, he should suffice himself with a frugal provision, seek to better the lot of the poor of the realm, choose the way of justice and fair-mindedness, and tread the path of high-spirited service. Such a one, needy though he be, shall win imperishable riches and attain unto everlasting honour.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, The Compilation of Compilations vol II, p. 342-343
Quote of the Day
Jalal 14 Azamat 183 B.E.
We may also expect at some future date a keen antagonism to our Faith on the part of those who do not see in it the salvation of the world, but rather challenge to their own fame and position.
Shoghi Effendi – The Compilation of Compilations vol II, p. 149
