And here are a collection of quotes from the Baha'i Writings that have helped me a lot this past year. The first set is written by the prophet/founder Baha'u'llah and the second set by His son 'Abdu'l-Baha. Their names are in arabic and mean The Glory of God and The Servant of Baha (glory) respectively.
**************************************
¨O Son of Man! Should prosperity befall thee, rejoice not, and should abasement come upon thee, grieve not, for both shall pass away and be no more.¨
¨Be generous in prosperity and thankful in adversity...¨
¨Armed with the power of Thy name nothing can ever hurt me, and with Thy love in my heart all the world's afflictions can in no wise alarm me.¨ http://vimeo.com/2228238
¨One hour's reflection is preferrable to seventy years of pious worship.¨
¨It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens.¨
***************************************
¨Men who suffer not attain no perfection.¨
¨In accordance with the Divine Teachings, the acquisition of sciences and the perfection of arts is considered as acts of worship.¨
¨Beware lest ye harm any soul, or make any heart to sorrow...be he known to you or a stranger...¨

- Thank you for stopping by! I'm a 20-year-old college student who is on a grand adventure in El Salvador. This page is an account of my story and discovery. A long way from Alaska, the only place I've ever lived, I'm sure to learn much during my stay here :)
