His constant hope is that the believers will conduct
themselves, individually and in their Bahá'í Community life, in such a manner
as to attract the attention of others to the Cause. The world is not only
starving for lofty principles and ideals, it is, above all, starving for a
shining example which the Bahá'ís can and must provide.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter written
on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, 22 February 1945 to an individual believer; The
Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, Excellence in All Things)
