... a person who is not adorned with the ornaments of
virtue, sanctity, and morality, is not a true Baha'i, even though he may call
himself one and be known as such.
- Shoghi Effendi (Excerpt quoted in an open
letter from the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Iran about the
Banning of the Baha'i Administration; included in Messages from the Universal
House of Justice 1963-1986’)
