Quote of the Day

Istiqlal 1 Nur 183 B.E.

In the treasuries of the knowledge of God there lieth concealed a knowledge which, when applied, will largely, though not wholly, eliminate fear. This knowledge, however, should be taught from childhood, as it will greatly aid in its elimination…. Whatever decreaseth fear increaseth courage.

Bahá’u’lláh – Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 32
