It is at such times that the friends of God avail themselves
of the occasion, seize the opportunity, rush forth and win the prize. If their
task is to be confined to good conduct and advice, nothing will be
accomplished. They must speak out, expound the proofs, set forth clear
arguments, draw irrefutable conclusions establishing the truth of the
manifestation of the Sun of Reality.

Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
