The future of this Cause, which is so dear to us all,
depends upon the energy and devotion of the rising generation. It
is you who before will be called to shoulder its responsibilities and
undertake its spread. To do that, however, you ought to be well equipped. You
ought to have your intellectual as well as spiritual side equally
developed.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated December 28, 1925, written on
behalf of Shoghi Effendi to the Baha’i Youth Baltimore, Maryland, USA; The
Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Youth)
