The intellect is good but until it has become the servant of the heart, it is of little avail.
Abdu'l-BaháLet us have love and more love; a love that melts all opposition, a love that conquers all foes, a love that sweeps away all barriers, a love that aboundeth in charity, a large-heartedness, tolerance, forgiveness and noble striving, a love that triumphs over all obstacles.
Abdu'l-BaháLet's be wise as the silence, strong as the wind, useful as the light; let's make of our lips a censer of the virtues.
Abdu'l-BaháIt is your duty to be exceedingly kind to every human being...until ye change the world of man into the world of God.
Abdu'l-BaháObserve that the body of man is confined to a small place; it covers only two spans of earth. But the spirit and mind of man travel to all countries and regions - even through the limitless space of the heavens - surround all that exists, and make discoveries in the exalted spheres and infinite distances. This is because the spirit has no place; it is placeless; and for the spirit the earth and the heaven are as one since it makes discoveries in both.
Abdu'l-Bahá
