“The duties of teaching and pioneering are enjoined upon all the believers. There are no special categories of believers for these functions...”

The Universal House of Justice, 2 July 1965

“If only the friends could realize it, the glory of our Faith is not that people with unique abilities do the work of the Cause, but that it is done by the sacrifice of loving and devoted souls who arise selflessly to undertake work they feel themselves incompetent, sometimes, to achieve. God works through them and endows them with gifts they did not dream they could ever possess.”

— Shoghi Effendi, Victory Promises, p. 17

“What the Cause now requires is not so much a group of highly cultured and intellectual people who can adequately present its Teachings, but a number of devoted, sincere and loyal supporters who, in utter disregard of their own weaknesses and limitations, and with hearts afire with the love of God, forsake their all for the sake of spreading and establishing His Faith.”

Shoghi Effendi, Directives from the Guardian, p. 75
