O members of parliaments throughout the world! Select ye a
single language for the use of all on earth, and adopt ye likewise a common
script. God, verily, maketh plain for you that which shall profit you and
enable you to be independent of others. He, of a truth, is the Most Bountiful,
the All-Knowing, the All-Informed. This will be the cause of unity, could ye
but comprehend it, and the greatest instrument for promoting harmony and
civilization, would that ye might understand!
- Baha’u’llah (‘The
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
