It behoveth the craftsmen of the world at each moment to
offer a thousand tokens of gratitude at the Sacred Threshold, and to exert
their highest endeavour and diligently pursue their professions so that their
efforts may produce that which will manifest the greatest beauty and perfection
before the eyes of all men.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of
‘Abdu’l-Baha’; The Compilation of
Compilations, vol. I, Excellence in All Things)
