Humanity, through suffering and turmoil, is swiftly moving on towards its destiny; if we be loiterers, if we fail to play our part surely others will be called upon to take up our task as ministers to the crying needs of this afflicted world. 

- Shoghi Effendi  (From a message dated 24 September 1924; ‘The Unfolding Destiney, The Messages from the Guardian of the Bahá’í Faith to the Bahá’í Community of the British Isles’)
