Ascribe not to any soul that which thou wouldst not have ascribed to thee, and say not that which though doest not.

Lay not on any soul a load that you would not wish to be laid upon you, and desire not for any one the things you would not desire for yourself.

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

So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.

Say: o brethren! Let deeds, not words, be your adorning.

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

Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity.
