Nature - Nurture
Whether deficiencies are inborn or are acquired, our purpose in this life is to overcome them and to train ourselves in accordance with the pattern that is revealed to us in the divine teachings.
- From a letter written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice, 17 September 1993
Quote of the Day
Istiqlal 10 Rahmat 183 B.E.
