“Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom.”
“Among the greatest of all services that can possibly be rendered by man to Almighty God is the education and training of children…, so that these children, fostered by grace in the way of salvation, growing like pearls of divine bounty in the shell of education, will one day bejewel the crown of abiding glory.”
~ Quotes from the Bahá’í Writings ~
