Happy are ye, O ye the learned ones in Bahá. By the Lord! Ye
are the billows of the Most Mighty Ocean, the stars of the firmament of Glory,
the standards of triumph waving betwixt earth and heaven. Ye are the
manifestations of steadfastness amidst men and the daysprings of Divine
Utterance to all that dwell on earth.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitáb-i-Aqdas’; The Compilation of Compilations
vol. 3, Scholarship)
