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
Istiqlal 12 Qudrat 182 B.E.
But after I leave, some people may arise in Opposition, heaping persecutions upon you in their bitterness . . . Rest ye in the assurance of firmness. Be well poised and serene, remembering that this is only as the harmless twittering of sparrows and that it will soon pass away.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – Promulgation of Universal Peace, pp. 428-430
