Bahá’í Quotes

Hopelessness

Things have come to such a pass that hope hath well nigh been banished from the hearts of Thy chosen ones, and the breaths of despair are ready to seize them, by reason of what hath befallen them in Thy days.

- Bahá’u’lláh, Prayers and Meditations by Bahá’u’lláh, p. 335-336

Quote of the Day

Fidal 4 Kamal 183 B.E.

If we but turn our gaze to the high qualifications of the members of Bahá’í Assemblies . . . we are filled with feelings of unworthiness and dismay, and would feel truly disheartened but for the comforting thought that if we rise to play nobly our part every deficiency in our lives will be more than compensated by the all-conquering spirit of His grace and power.

Shoghi Effendi – Bahá’í Administration, p. 88
