It is not for him to pride himself who
loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The
earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens. - Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh’; The Compilation of Compilations,
vol. II, Peace)
…attach not yourselves to the luxuries of this ephemeral
world, free yourselves from every attachment, and strive with heart and soul to
become fully established in the Kingdom of God.
