Extracts from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh:

"Say, O brethren! Let deeds, not words, be your adorning."

"Holy words and pure and goodly deeds ascend unto the heaven of celestial
glory."

"O ye beloved of the Lord! In this sacred Dispensation, conflict and contention are in no wise permitted. Every aggressor deprives himself of God's grace."

"Nothing whatever can, in this Day, inflict a greater harm on this Cause than
dissension and strife, contention, estrangement and apathy, among the loved ones of God."

"Do not be content with showing friendship in words alone; let your heart burn with loving-kindness for all who may cross your path."

"When a thought of war comes oppose it by a stronger thought of peace. A thought of hatred must be destroyed by a more powerful thought of love."

"Backbiting quencheth the light of the heart, and extinguisheth the life of the soul."

"Breathe not the sins of others so long as thou art thyself a sinner."

"Speak no evil, that thou mayest not hear it spoken unto thee, and magnify not the faults of others that thine own faults may not appear great"

"O people! The goodliest vesture in the sight of God in this day is trustworthiness. All bounty and honour shall be the portion of the soul that arrayeth itself with this greatest of adornments."

"Regard thou faith as a tree. Its fruits, leaves, boughs and branches are, and have ever been, trustworthiness, truthfulness, uprightness and forbearance."
