We must be patient with others, infinitely patient!, but
also with our poor selves, remembering that even the Prophets of God sometimes
got tired and cried out in despair! .. He urges you to persevere and add up
your accomplishments, rather than to dwell on the dark side of things.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a
letter dated September 22, 1929, written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an
individual believer; The Unfolding Destiny of the British Baha'i Community)
