Honesty
Nay, rather, the government and people should come to repose such trust in the Bahá’ís as to wish to commit all affairs of state throughout the provinces into the chaste, pure hands of God's well-beloved.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Lights of Guidance, p. 454
Were one of the friends in this day to misappropriate so much as a single penny, the scattered mantle of God's Cause would become sullied by his action and the shame of it would attach to the whole community.

Quote of the Day
Istiqlal 13 Mashiyyat 183 B.E.
The friends should be encouraged not to waste time on such things as astrology, etc., which you mention. They cannot be forbidden to do so. The exercise of our free will to choose to do the right things is much more important.
Shoghi Effendi – Lights of Guidance, p. 516
