Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity.

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

Justice and equity are twin Guardians that watch over men. From them are revealed such blessed and perspicuous words as are the cause of the well-being of the world and the protection of the nations.

Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration.

The betterment of the world can be accomplished through pure and goodly deeds and through commendable and seemly conduct.

O ye rich ones on earth! The poor in your midst are My trust; guard ye My trust, and be not intent only on your own ease.

Unto each one hath been prescribed a preordained measure, as decreed in God's mighty and guarded Tablets. All that which ye potentially possess can, however, be manifested only as a result of your own volition.
