I strongly urge you to devote, while you are pursuing your
studies, as much time as you possibly can to a thorough study of the history
and Teachings of our Beloved Cause. This is the prerequisite of a future
successful career of service to the Bahá'í Faith in which I hope and pray you
will distinguish yourself in the days to come.
- Shoghi Effendi (Appended to a letter dated 18 May 1926 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an
individual believer; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Youth)
