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'lláhLay not on any soul a load that you would not wish to be laid upon you, and desire not for any one the things you would not desire for yourself.
Bahá'u'lláhAll peoples and nations are of one family, the children of one Father, and should be to one another as brothers and sisters.
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
