These are some of the amazing Quotations, Talks, and Photos that inspire me on a daily basis -
A few quotations from the Bahai writings:
“The earth is but one country and mankind its citizen”
“All men have been created to carry forward an ever-advancing civilization.”
“To strive, to persevere is to achieve ultimate and complete victory.”
“A human being’s inner life molds the environment and is deeply affected by it. The one acts upon the other and every abiding change in the life of man is the result of these mutual interactions.”
“Man is a mine rich full of gems of inestimable value. Education can alone cause it to reveal its treasures and enable mankind to benefit therefrom.”
