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.

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
Istijlal 5 Mashiyyat 183 B.E.
It should be realized that there is a distinction drawn in the Faith between the attitudes which should characterize individuals in their relationship to other people, namely, loving forgiveness, forbearance, and concern with one's own sins, not the sins of others, and those attitudes which should be shown by the Spiritual Assemblies, whose duty is to administer the law of God with Justice.
