Beautify your tongues, O people, with truthfulness, and adorn your souls with the ornament of honesty. Beware, O people, that ye deal not treacherously with any one.

The utterance of God is a lamp, whose light is these words: Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Deal ye one with another with the utmost love and harmony... So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.

Let your eye be chaste, your hand faithful, your tongue truthful and your heart enlightened.

Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration. The remedy the world needeth in its present-day afflictions can never be the same as that which a subsequent age may require. Be anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and centre your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements.

O ye children of men! The fundamental purpose animating the Faith of God and His Religion is to safeguard the interests and promote the unity of the human race, and to foster the spirit of love and fellowship amongst men.

Dedicate the precious days of your lives to the betterment of the world.

Ascribe not to any soul that which thou wouldst not have ascribed to thee, and say not that which thou doest not.

Bring thyself to account each day ere thou art summoned to a reckoning; for death, unheralded, shall come upon thee and thou shalt be called to give account for thy deeds.

Say: o brethren! Let deeds, not words, be your adorning.

A thankful person is thankful under all circumstances. A complaining soul complains even in paradise.

It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world.

Let your vision be world embracing rather than confined to your own self.

The True Seeker must, before all else, cleanse his heart.

Man is even as steel, the essence of which is hidden: through admonition and explanation, good counsel and education, that essence will be brought to light. If, however, he be allowed to remain in his original condition, the corrosion of lusts and appetites will effectively destroy him.

All peoples and nations are of one family, the children of one Father, and should be to one another as brothers and sisters.

Bend your minds and wills to the education of the peoples and kindreds of the earth, that haply the dissensions that divide it may, through the power of the Most Great Name, be blotted out from its face, and all mankind become the upholders of one Order, and the inhabitants of one City.

Be generous in prosperity and thankful in adversity, Be fair in thy judgment, and guarded in thy speech. Be a lamp unto those who walk in darkness, and a home to the stranger. Be eyes to the blind, and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring. Be a breath of life to the body of humankind, a dew to the soil of the human heart, and a fruit upon the tree of humility.

Know thou that every fixed star hath its own planets, and every planet its own creatures, whose number no man can compute.

Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity.

Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration.

Should the fragrance of Thy praise be shed abroad by any of the divers tongues of the world, out of the East or out of the West, it would, verily, be prized and greatly cherished.

Should prosperity befall thee, rejoice not, and should abasement come upon thee, grieve not, for both shall pass away and be no more.

Be anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and center your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements.
