Dissipate not the wealth of your precious lives in the
pursuit of evil and corrupt affection, nor let your endeavours be spent in
promoting your personal interest. Be generous in your days of plenty, and be
patient in the hour of loss. Adversity is followed by success and rejoicings
follow woe.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
