Thank God that thou art firm and steadfast in the Cause. Today the magnetic power that attracts the divine confirmation is firmness and steadfastness. The tree whose root is firm will yield luscious fruit. The building whose foundation is solid will stand the rush of torrent and hurricane. The steamer which is built strongly will resist the battling waves. Therefore, thank thou God that thou art aided in firmness and steadfastness. 

- ‘Abdu’l-Baha  (From a Tablet to Roy Wilhelm; Star of the West, vol. 4, no. 10, September 8, 1913)
