To a railroad man He said:
You are paving the material roads. May you become able to straighten the pathway to heaven. That is more important. Straighten the path for the Kingdom of God is nigh. Be a heavenly lineman.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Utterances of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, recorded by Ahmad Sohrab, ‘Abdu'l-Baha in Britain, 1913’)
