Many great men and women have desired, century after
century, to live in this wonderful Age of God, and you ought to thank Cod with
all your heart that you have been chosen to be here at this time. Christ said
that the stone the builders rejected became the headstone of the corner. This
means that the spiritually great men and women of the world have been rejected
and despised in all times by the builders of the world; but that now in this,
the time of the Kingdom, these spiritual ones will become the chief stones in
the buildings.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, recorded by May Maxwell in ‘An Early
Pilgrimage’, 1898)
