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 to an individual believer, February 22,
1945; compilations: ‘Lights of Guidance’)
