A thankful person is thankful under all circumstances. A complaining soul complains even in paradise.
Bahá'u'lláhUnto each one hath been prescribed a preordained measure, as decreed in God's mighty and guarded Tablets. All that which ye potentially possess can, however, be manifested only as a result of your own volition.
Bahá'u'lláhMy Calamity is my providence, outwardly it is fire and vengeance, but inwardly it is light and mercy.
Bahá'u'lláhBend your minds and wills to the education of the peoples and kindreds of the earth, that haply the dissensions that divide it may, through the power of the Most Great Name, be blotted out from its face, and all mankind become the upholders of one Order, and the inhabitants of one City.
