But for the tribulations which are sustained in Thy path, how could Thy true lovers be recognized; and were it not for the trials which are borne for love of Thee, how could the station of such as yearn for Thee be revealed?

- Baha'u'llah, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 94

O thou maid-servant of God! Become thou not extinguished by the winds of tests, but rather become ignited and be more happy, for then thou wilt become a tried believer.

- Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablets of Abdu’l-Bahá v3, p. 591
