We must be
like the fountain or spring that is continually emptying itself of all that it
has and is continually being refilled from an invisible source. To be
continually giving out for the good of our fellows undeterred by fear of
poverty and reliant on the unfailing bounty of the Source of all wealth and all
good -- this is the secret of right living.
- Shoghi Effendi (Cited in
"Bahá'í News" 13 (September 1926; The Compilation of Compilations, Vol.
I, Baha’I Funds and Contributions)
