Consider ye the past centuries, how a single one of the
beloved of God withstood all the people on the earth because of his firmness in
the love of God, and his entire turning of the heart toward the Kingdom of God
and with the cup of his heart overflowing with the wine of the knowledge of
God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
