"The tie of servitude established between the worshiper and the adored One, between the creature and the Creator, should in itself be regarded as a token of His gracious favor unto men, and not as an indication of any merit they may possess."


"The service of the friends belongs to God, not to them."


- From the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha.

"There is nothing that brings success in the Faith like service. Service is the magnet which draws the divine confirmations."
- Shoghi Effendi.
