Love manifests its reality in deeds, not only in words - these alone are without effect.
Abdu'l-BaháBehold a candle, how it gives its light. It weeps its life away drop by drop in order to give forth its flame of light.
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-BaháLove is the most great law that ruleth this mighty and heavenly cycle, the unique power that bindeth together the divers elements of this material world, the supreme magnetic force that directeth the movements of the spheres in the celestial realms
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
