O concourse of rulers! Turn unto the poor; verily God hath
created them and you from the selfsame substance. Let a portion of your wealth
he shared by them. This is that which will profit you throughout all times and
ages. Bestow a part of that which God in His grace hath given you; for thereby
will your wealth be increased.
(Baha’u’llah,
‘The Baha’i World 1926-1928)
