Without the spirit of real love for Bahá'u'lláh, for His
Faith and its Institutions, and the believers for each other, the Cause can
never really bring in large numbers of people. For it is not preaching and
rules the world wants, but love and action.

1949, written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual; compilation:
