O ye apostles of Bahá'u'lláh. May my life be sacrificed for
you! ... Behold the portals which Bahá'u'lláh hath opened for you! Consider how
exalted and lofty is the station you are destined to attain; how unique the
favors with which you have been endowed.
- 'Abdu'l-Bahá (‘Tablets of the Divine Plan’)
