Copper Gold
For instance, consider the substance of copper. Were it to be protected in its own mine from becoming solidified, it would, within the space of seventy years, attain to the state of gold.
- Bahá’u’lláh, The Ki tab-i-Ian, p. 157
The copper of scorn and derision will be transmuted into the gold of honor and praise.

Quote of the Day
Idal 13 Nur 183 B.E.
I wish to reaffirm my deep sense of gratitude and admiration for the splendid manner in which the English believers are discharging their duties and responsibilities in these days of increasing peril, anxiety and stress. Their tenacity, courage, faith and noble exertions will as a magnet attract the undoubted and promised blessing of Bahá’u’lláh.
