Consultation is no easy skill to learn, requiring as it does
the subjugation of all egotism and unruly passions, the cultivation of
frankness and freedom of thought as well as courtesy, openness of mind, and
wholehearted acquiescence in a majority decision.
- The Universal House of Justice (From a letter to Baha’i youth, June 10, 1966; ‘Wellspring of Guidance’)
