Among the greatest of all great services is the education of
children, and promotion of the various sciences, crafts and arts. Praised be
God, ye are now exerting strenuous efforts toward this end. The more ye
persevere in this most important task, the more will ye witness the
confirmations of God, to such a degree that ye yourselves will be astonished.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (The Compilation of Compilations, vol. III, The Importance of
Arts in Promoting the Faith)
