Commit not, O people, that which dishonoureth your name and
the fair name of the Cause of God amongst men. Beware lest ye approach that
which your minds abhor. Fear God and
follow not in the footsteps of them that are gone astray.
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet
to Napoleon III, Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple]; ‘The Summons of the Lord of
Hosts’)
