The Prophets have appeared in this world with the mission
that human souls may become the expressions of the Merciful, that they may be
educated and developed, attain to love and amity and establish peace and
agreement.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk, 21 April 1912, Washington, DC; ‘The
Promulgation of Universal Peace: Talks Delivered by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá during His
Visit to the United States and Canada in 1912’)
