Let their words proclaim, and their conduct testify, that
they who follow Bahá’u’lláh, in whatever land they reside, are actuated by no
selfish ambition, that they neither thirst for power, nor mind any wave of
unpopularity, of distrust or criticism, which a strict adherence to their
standards might provoke.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated March 21, 1932,
published in “The World Order of Baha’u’llah’)
