Abdu’l-Bahá, The second Guardian of Baha’is, Khaterat Habib, p.68
“If there is freedom without aggression in Iran and we are not harassed, we will not benefit for in the path of the Bahá’u’lláh we must endure a thousand kinds of torment, insult, and curse, and suffer hardships. If we are as comfortable as others, we cannot achieve anything and will gain no benefit.”
