Be anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and center your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements.

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

Regard ye the world as a man's body, which is afflicted with diverse ailments, and the recovery of which dependeth upon the harmonizing of all its component elements.

Let not a man glory in this, that he loves his country; let him rather glory in this, that he loves his kind...

Do not be content with showing friendship in words alone, let your heart burn with loving kindness for all who may cross your path.

Verily we are from God, and to Him shall we return!

Know thou that every fixed star hath its own planets, and every planet its own creatures, whose number no man can compute.
