Baha'i

“My first counsel is this: Possess a pure, kindly and radiant heart”

“Thou art My lamp and My light is in thee.”

“Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou wast created.”

“How couldst thou forget thine own faults and busy thyself with the faults of others?”

“With the joyful tidings of light I hail thee: rejoice!”

“If poverty overtake thee, be not sad; for in time the Lord of wealth shall visit thee.”

“Know ye not why We created you all from the same dust? That no one should exalt himself over the other.”

“In the garden of thy heart plant naught but the rose of love”

“Let deeds, not words, be your adorning.”

“Be forbearing one with another and set not your affections on things below.”

“To give and to be generous are attributes of Mine; well is it with him that adorneth himself with My virtues.”

“Put away all covetousness and seek contentment; for the covetous hath ever been deprived, and the contented hath ever been loved and praised.”

“Thou art the daystar of the heavens of My holiness, let not the defilement of the world eclipse thy splendor.”
