O Thou Whose tests are a healing medicine to such as are nigh unto Thee, Whose sword is the ardent desire of all them that love Thee, Whose dart is the dearest wish of those hearts that yearn after Thee, Whose decree is the sole hope of them that have recognized Thy truth!
- Baha'u'llah, Prayers and Meditations by Baha'u'llah, p. 220
My only joy in this swiftly-passing world was to tread the stony path of God and to endure hard tests and all material griefs. For otherwise, this earthly life would prove barren and vain, and better would be death.
- Abdu’l-Bahá, Selections from the Writings of Abdu’l-Bahá, p. 226
