The education of each child is compulsory.... In addition to
this widespread education each child must be taught a profession, art, or
trade, so that every member of the community will be enabled to earn his own
livelihood. Work done in the spirit of service is the highest form of
worship...."
- 'Abdu'l-Bahá ('Abdu'l-Baha on Divine Philosophy’, The Compilation of
Compilations, vol. II, Women)
