Take heed, O concourse of the rulers of the world! There is
no force on earth that can equal in its conquering power the force of justice
and wisdom. I, verily, affirm that there is not, and hath never been, a host
more mighty than that of justice and wisdom. Blessed is the king who marcheth
with the ensign of wisdom unfurled before him, and the battalions of justice
massed in his rear. He verily is the ornament that adorneth the brow of peace
and the countenance of security. There can be no doubt whatever that if the
day-star of justice, which the clouds of tyranny have obscured, were to shed
its light upon men, the face of the earth would be completely transformed.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
