Arts, crafts and sciences uplift the world of being, and are conducive to its exaltation. Knowledge is as wings to man's life, and a ladder for his ascent. Its acquisition is incumbent upon everyone.
Bahá'u'lláhThe well-being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established.
Bahá'u'lláhThus hath it been sent down from the heaven of the Will of your Lord, the Lord of Revelation.
Bahá'u'lláhSince We have created you all from one same substance it is incumbent on you to be even as one soul, to walk with the same feet, eat with the same mouth and dwell in the same land, that from your inmost being, by your deeds and actions, the signs of oneness and the essence of detachment may be made manifest. Such is My counsel to you, O concourse of light!
Bahá'u'lláh
