Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou wast created.
Bahá'u'lláhBe generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbor, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer of the cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge.
Bahá'u'lláhBe anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and center your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements.
