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
Jamal 12 Rahmat 183 B.E.
You were the fountainhead of learning, the unfailing spring of light for all the earth, how is it that you are withered now, and quenched, and faint of heart? You who once lit the world, how is it that you lurk, inert, bemused, in darkness now? Open your mind's eye, see your great and present need. Rise up and struggle, seek education, seek enlightenment.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – The Secret of Divine Civilization, p. 91
