Though afflicted with countless tribulations, which We have
suffered at the hands of Our enemies, We have proclaimed unto all the rulers of
the earth what God hath willed to proclaim, that all nations may know that no
manner of affliction can deter the Pen of the Ancient of Days from achieving
its purpose. His Pen moveth by the leave of God, Who fashioneth the crumbling
and rotten bones.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
