Bahá’í Quotes

Discrimination

The Bahá’í Writings . . . answer the question of minorities with a call to "unity in diversity," in Mr. Eide's words "pluralism in togetherness" . . . To preserve and honor diversity without making differences a cause for conflict requires a new way of thinking, based on respect for the rights of every individual. This new way of thinking, characterized some years ago as a "culture of human rights," must be developed and supported by human rights education.

Quote of the Day

Fidal 6 Asma 183 B.E.

What is music? It is a combination of harmonious sounds. What is poetry? It is a symmetrical collection of words. Therefore, they are pleasing through harmony and rhythm. Poetry is much more effective and complete than prose. It stirs more deeply, for it is of a finer composition.
