The European continent is like an arsenal, a storehouse of
explosives ready for ignition, and one spark will set the whole of Europe
aflame, particularly at this time when the Balkan question is before the world.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Remarks made in Sacramento, California, October 26, 1912; ‘Baha’u’llah
and the New Era’, by John Esselmont)
