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
