BAHA'U'LLAHA kindly tongue is the lodestone of the hearts of men. It is the bread of the spirit, it clotheth the words with meaning, it is the fountain of the light of wisdom and understanding…
BAHA'U'LLAHBend your minds and wills to the education of the peoples and kindreds of the earth, that haply the dissensions that divide it may, through the power of the Most Great Name, be blotted out from its face, and all mankind become the upholders of one Order, and the inhabitants of one City.
BAHA'U'LLAHEvery age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration.
BAHA'U'LLAHA thankful person is thankful under all circumstances. A complaining soul complains even in paradise.
BAHá'U'LLáHBeautify your tongues, O people, with truthfulness, and adorn your souls with the ornament of honesty. Beware, O people, that ye deal not treacherously with any one.
BAHá'U'LLáHThe country is the world of the soul, the city is the world of bodies.
BAHA'U'LLAHBe generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbor, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer of the cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge.
BAHA'U'LLAHO ye rich ones on earth! The poor in your midst are My trust; guard ye My trust, and be not intent only on your own ease.
BAHA'U'LLAHIn all matters moderation is desirable. If a thing is carried to excess, it will prove a source of evil.
BAHA'U'LLAHThe essence of faith is fewness of words and abundance of deeds.
BAHA'U'LLAHThe True Seeker must, before all else, cleanse his heart.
BAHA'U'LLAHNor shall the seeker reach his goal unless he sacrifice all things. That is, whatever he has seen, and heard, and understood (before), all must he set at naught, that he may enter the Realm of the Spirit, which is the City of God.
BAHA'U'LLAHO ye children of men! The fundamental purpose animating the Faith of God and His Religion is to safeguard the interests and promote the unity of the human race, and to foster the spirit of love and fellowship amongst men.
BAHA'U'LLAHO ye that dwell on earth! The religion of God is for love and unity; make it not the cause of enmity or dissension.
BAHA'U'LLAHAll peoples and nations are of one family, the children of one Father, and should be to one another as brothers and sisters.
BAHA'U'LLAHBe anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and center your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements.
BAHA'U'LLAH
