Be thou of the people of hell-fire, but be not a hypocrite. 

Be thou an unbeliever, but be not a plotter. 

Make thy home in taverns, but tread not the path of the mischief-maker. 

Fear thou God, but not the priest. 

Give to the executioner thy head, but not thy heart. 

Let thine abode be under the stone, but seek not the shelter of the cleric.

~ Baha’u’llah

“I am the Mystic Fane which the Hand of Omnipotence hath reared. I am the Lamp which the Finger of God hath lit within its niche and caused to shine with deathless splendor. I am the Flame of that supernal Light that glowed upon Sinai in the gladsome Spot, and lay concealed in the midst of the Burning Bush.”

“We must be like the fountain or spring that is continually emptying itself of all that it has and is continually being refilled from an invisible source. To be continually giving out for the good of our fellows undeterred by fear of poverty and reliant on the unfailing bounty of the Source of all wealth and all good-this is the secret of right living.”

‘...shouldst thou wish to take flight in the atmosphere of My love, it behoveth thee to soar above the kingdoms of earth and heaven and all that they contain, that thou mayest attain the paradise of the good-pleasure of the All-Glorious.’

‘Be kind to all around and serve one another; love to be just and true in all your dealings; pray always and so live your life that sorrow cannot touch you.’
