The ones in real authority are known by their humility and
self-sacrifice and show no attitude of superiority over the friends…
Let the servant be known by his deeds, by his life!
To be approved of God alone should be one's aim.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Words of 'Abdu'l-Baha, recorded
by Dr. Edward C. Getsinger and cited in Star of the West, vol. 6; no.6, June
24, 1915)
