A kindly tongue is the lodestone of the hearts of men. It is the bread of the spirit, it clotheth the words with meaning, it is the fountain of the light of wisdom and understanding...

Peace be upon him who follows the Straight Path!

The utterance of God is a lamp, whose light is these words: Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Deal ye one with another with the utmost love and harmony... So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.

Nor shall the seeker reach his goal unless he sacrifice all things. That is, whatever he has seen, and heard, and understood (before), all must he set at naught, that he may enter the Realm of the Spirit, which is the City of God.

Love is a light that never dwelleth in a heart possessed by fear.

A thankful person is thankful under all circumstances. A complaining soul complains even in paradise.

O ye that dwell on earth! The religion of God is for love and unity; make it not the cause of enmity or dissension.
