Courtesy

Well is it with him who is illumined with the light of courtesy and is attired with the vesture of uprightness. 
- Baha’u’llah  (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)

“The Purpose of the one true God…in revealing Himself unto men…”

The Purpose of the one true God, exalted be His glory, in revealing Himself unto men is to lay bare those gems that lie hidden within the mine of their true and inmost selves. 
- Baha'u'llah  (Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah)

"speaking well of another"

If… a person setteth about speaking well of another, opening his lips to praise another, he will touch an answering chord in his hearers and they will be stirred up by the breathings of God. 
- ‘Abdu'l-Baha  ('Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha’)

The Obligatory Prayers

The Obligatory Prayers are binding inasmuch as they are conducive to humility and submissiveness, to setting one's face towards God and expressing devotion to Him. 
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha  (From a Tablet; compilation: ‘The Importance of Obligatory Prayer and Fasting’, prepared by the Research Department of the Universal House of Justice; The American Baha’i September 2000)
