You cannot be a hero without action. This is the touchstone.
Not movement, coming and going, but in the evidences of your character. Jacky
[Marion Jack] is a heroine because of her conduct, the heroic spirit reveals
itself in her. Martha [Martha Root] had the heroic action. She went 'til she
dropped.
- Shoghi Effendi (Remarks by Shoghi Effendi, recorded by Ruhiyyih Khanum, ‘The
Priceless Pearl’)
