Sometimes the course may seem very hard, but one can witness, again and again, that the soul who steadfastly obeys the law of Bahá'u'lláh, however hard it may seem, grows spiritually, while the one who compromises with the law for the sake of his own apparent happiness is seen to have been following a chimera: he does not attain the happiness he sought, he retards his spiritual advance and often brings new problems upon himself.(From a letter written by the Universal House of Justice to all National Spiritual Assemblies, published in “Messages from the Universal House of Justice 1968-1973”, p. 106)

I like this quote, my sister used to always referred to this quote talking about a "chimera" but it's the first time I actually read it.
