This is the time of happiness; it is the day of cheerfulness
and exhilaration. For, praise to God, all the doors are opened through the
bounty of the Glorious Beauty. But one must show forth perseverance and
self-devotion and consecrate his thoughts, until the tree of hope may give fruit
and produce consequences. - ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 2)
