Consider ye what doors His Holiness Baha'u'llah has opened
before you, and what a high and exalted station He has destined for you, and
what bounties He has prepared for you! Should we become intoxicated with this
cup, the sovereignty of this globe of earth will become lower in our estimation
than the children's plays. Should they place in the arena the crown of the
government of the whole world, and invite each one of us to accept it,
undoubtedly we shall not condescend, and shall refuse to accept it.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (From a Tablet, Baha’i World Faith)
