Ye have been enjoined to renew the furnishings of your homes
after the passing of each nineteen years; thus hath it been ordained by One Who
is Omniscient and All-Perceiving. He, verily, is desirous of refinement, both
for you yourselves and for all that ye possess; lay not aside the fear of God
and be not of the negligent. Whoso findeth that his means are insufficient to
this purpose hath been excused by God, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Bounteous.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
