Excellence
In everything we do we should always try to attain a standard of excellence.
- Universal House of Justice, Lights of Guidance, p. 609
So high must be your standard of excellence and so pure and chaste your lives that the moral influence you exert penetrates the consciousness of the wider community.

Quote of the Day
Istijlal 19 Sultan 182 B.E.
With reference to your question whether those foods which have been flavoured with alcoholic liquors such as brandy, rum, etc., should be classified under the same category as the intoxicating drinks, and consequently be avoided by believers, the Guardian wishes all the friends to know that such food, or beverages, are strictly prohibited.
Shoghi Effendi – Lights of Guidance, p. 350
