I bear witness, O my God, that Thou hast created me to know Thee and to worship Thee. I testify, at this moment, to my powerlessness and to Thy might, to my poverty and to Thy wealth. There is none other God but Thee, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.

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.

In all matters moderation is desirable. If a thing is carried to excess, it will prove a source of evil.

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

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

Let your eye be chaste, your hand faithful, your tongue truthful and your heart enlightened.

O ye children of men! The fundamental purpose animating the Faith of God and His Religion is to safeguard the interests and promote the unity of the human race, and to foster the spirit of love and fellowship amongst men.
