The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.
The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me.
My love is My stronghold; he that entereth therein is safe and secure.
Breathe not the sins of others so long as thou art thyself a sinner.
Thy heart is My home; sanctify it for My descent.
I have made death a messenger of joy to thee; wherefore dost thou grieve.
Make mention of Me on My earth, that in My heaven, I may remember thee.
O rich ones on earth! The poor in your midst are My trust; guard ye My trust.
The source of all learning is the knowledge of God, exalted be His glory!
(The Baha’i Faith 1844-1963, Statistical and Comparative, Compiled by the Hands of the Cause Residing in the Holy Land)
