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

Jamal 10 Mulk 182 B.E.

The Bahá’ís are free to greet each other with Allah'u'Abhá when they meet, if they want to, but they should avoid anything which to outsiders, in a western country, might seem like some strange oriental password. We must be very firm on principles and laws, but very normal and natural in our ways, so as to attract strangers!
