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

Bring thyself to account each day ere thou art summoned to a reckoning; for death, unheralded, shall come upon thee and thou shalt be called to give account for thy deeds.

Religious fanaticism and hatred are a world-devouring fire, whose violence none can quench.

The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens.

Happy the days that have been consecrated to the remembrance of God, and blessed the hours which have been spent in praise of Him Who is the All-Wise.

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.

Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity.
