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 5 Sultan 182 B.E.
The question of economics must commence with the farmer and then be extended to the other classes inasmuch as the number of farmers is far greater than all other classes. Therefore, it is fitting to begin with the farmer in matters related to economics for the farmer is the first active agent in human society.
