One must see in every human being only that which is worthy
of praise.

Virtues to cultivate
Adorn your heads with the garlands of trustworthiness and
fidelity, your hearts with the attire of the Fear of God, your tongues with
absolute truthfulness, your bodies with the vesture of courtesy.
- Baha'u'llah ('The Kitab-i-Aqdas)
The purpose of God in creating a human being
The purpose of God in creating man hath been, and will ever
be, to enable him to know his Creator and to attain His Presence.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’; Ruhi Book 5)
Essential qualities for those who take counsel together
The prime requisites for them that take counsel together are
purity of motive, radiance of spirit, detachment from all else save God,
attraction to His Divine Fragrances, humility and lowliness amongst His loved
ones, patience and long-suffering in difficulties and servitude to His exalted
Threshold.
