One righteous act is endowed with a potency that can so elevate the dust as to cause it to pass beyond the heaven of heavens. It can tear every bond asunder, and hath the power to restore the force that hath spent itself and vanished.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 286
Each one of us, if we look into our failures, is sure to feel unworthy and despondent, and this feeling only frustrates our constructive efforts and wastes time. The thing for us to focus on is the glory of the Cause and the Power of Bahá’u’lláh which can make of a mere drop a surging sea!

God works through them and endows them with gifts they did not dream they could ever possess.
- Shoghi Effendi, Quickeners of Mankind, p. 67
Humanity is weary for want of a pattern of life to which to aspire. A single soul can uphold a standard far above the low threshold by which the world measures itself.
