We are Bahá’ís because we believe it is the Truth for this day, and not because of any hopes we may have for an easier passage through this troubled world! Our tests often come from each other; but for the sake of Bahá’u’lláh we must endure them patiently and rise above them. 
- Shoghi Effendi  (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, 5 April 1950; published in compilation: ‘Fire and Gold: Benefiting from Life’s Tests’, by Brian Kurzius)
