Bahá’í Quotes

Pessimistic

There is a tremendous darkness in the world today, the darkness caused by mankind's going against the Laws of God and giving way to the animal side of human nature. People must recognize this fact, and consciously struggle against pessimism and depression.

- Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance, p. 113

Quote of the Day

Istiqlal 1 Nur 183 B.E.

In the treasuries of the knowledge of God there lieth concealed a knowledge which, when applied, will largely, though not wholly, eliminate fear. This knowledge, however, should be taught from childhood, as it will greatly aid in its elimination…. Whatever decreaseth fear increaseth courage.

Bahá’u’lláh – Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 32
