Bahá’í Quotes

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

Jamal 11 Masail 182 B.E.

The Administrative Order of the Cause, though first established in America, copied as a model by other national Bahá’í communities, is not an American production, but is a universal system based on the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh. It is not simply by coincidence however that it was first initiated and perfected by the American believers.
