The Great Being saith: Human utterance is an essence which aspireth to exert its influence and needeth moderation. As to its influence, this is conditional upon refinement which in turn is dependent upon hearts which are detached and pure. As to its moderation, this hath to be combined with tact and wisdom as prescribed in the Holy Scriptures and Tablets.
Bahá'u'lláhIn all matters moderation is desirable. If a thing is carried to excess, it will prove a source of evil.
Bahá'u'lláhO 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.
