Thine [God’s] own might beareth me witness! But for
tribulations, how could the assured be distinguished from the doubters among
Thy servants? They who have been inebriated with the wine of Thy knowledge,
these, verily, hasten to meet every manner of adversity in their longing to
pass into Thy presence.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
