We have enjoined upon all mankind to establish the Most
Great Peace—the surest of all means for the protection of humanity. The
sovereigns of the world should, with one accord, hold fast thereunto, for this
is the supreme instrument that can ensure the security and welfare of all
peoples and nations. They, verily, are the manifestations of the power of God
and the daysprings of His authority. We beseech the Almighty that He may
graciously assist them in that which is conducive to the well-being of their
subjects.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
