A God that is only loving or only just is not a perfect God. The Divinity has to possess both of these aspects as every father ought to express both in his attitude towards his children. If we ponder a while, we will see that our welfare can be ensured only when both of these divine attributes are equally emphasized and practised.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, 29 April 1933 to an individual believer; The Compilation of Compilations, Vol. I, Family Life)
