If a man considers himself humble and lowly in the Cause of
God, he becomes glorified in all eyes. On the other hand, the moment he aspires
to personal greatness, he falls into disgrace and oblivion.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha
aboard the Cedric on the way to America, March 26, 1912; recorded by Mahmud
Zarqani; ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
