Ambition
Let your ambition be the achievement on earth of a Heavenly civilization!
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 98
With regard to the things of the spirit they are as lifeless as a stone; nor do they wish to be otherwise . . . But man's ambition should soar above this -- he should ever look higher than himself, ever upward and onward, until through the Mercy of God he may come to the Kingdom of Heaven.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 71
Quote of the Day
Istijlal 9 Rahmat 183 B.E.
The basest of men are they that yield no fruit on earth. Such men are verily counted as among the dead, nay better are the dead in the sight of God than those idle and worthless souls.
