Take heed lest the deeds wrought by the embodiments of idle
fancy sadden you or the acts committed by every wayward oppressor grieve you.
Seize ye the chalice of constancy through the power of His Name, quaff then
therefrom by virtue of the sovereignty of God, the Powerful, the Omnipotent.
Thus hath the Day-Star of My tender compassion and loving-kindness shone forth
above the horizon of this Tablet that ye may render thanks unto your Lord, the
Almighty, the All-Bountiful.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed
after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
