“Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration.”
Bahá'u'lláh (1817–1892) founder of the Bahá'í Faith
Proclamation of Bahá'u'lláh http://reference.bahai.org/en/t/b/PB/ <br class="br">Context: Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration. The remedy the world needeth in its present-day afflictions can never be the same as that which a subsequent age may require. Be anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and centre your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements.
