They must be constantly encouraged and made eager to gain
all the summits of human accomplishment, so that from their earliest years they
will be taught to have high aims, to conduct themselves well, to be chaste,
pure, and undefiled, and will learn to be of powerful resolve and firm of
purpose in all things....
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of
‘Abdu’l-Baha; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, Excellence in All
Things)
