Adolescence
Humanity is now experiencing the commotions invariably associated with the most turbulent stage of its evolution, the stage of adolescence, when the impetuosity of youth and its vehemence reach their climax, and must gradually be superseded by the calmness, the wisdom, and the maturity that characterize the stage of manhood.
- Shoghi Effendi, The World Order of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 202
Quote of the Day
Fidal 14 Rahmat 183 B.E.
