The fleeting hours of man’s life on earth pass swiftly by
and the little that still remaineth shall come to an end, but that which
endureth and lasteth for evermore is the fruit that man reapeth from his
servitude at the Divine Threshold. Behold the truth of this saying, how
abundant and glorious are the proofs thereof in the world of being!
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
