Calumny
Against calumny there is no defense . . . having no helper, assistant nor shelter from the sword of accusation and the teeth of calumny, save God!
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá v2, p. 379
And I say unto you that no calumny is able to prevail against the Light of God; it can only result in causing it to be more universally recognized.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 105
The individual must be educated to such a high degree that he would rather have his throat cut than tell a lie, and would think it easier to be slashed with a sword or pierced with a spear than to utter calumny or be carried away by wrath.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, p. 136
Quote of the Day
Fidal 7 Ilm 182 B.E.
There can be no doubt whatever that, in consequence of the efforts which every man may consciously exert and as a result of the exertion of his own spiritual faculties, this mirror can be so cleansed from the dross of earthly defilements and purged from satanic fancies as to be able to draw nigh unto the meads of eternal holiness and attain the courts of everlasting fellowship.
