Whatever is written should not transgress the bounds of tact
and wisdom, and in the words used there should lie hid the property of milk, so
that the children of the world may be nurtured therewith, and attain
maturity. We have said in the past that
one word hath the influence of spring and causeth hearts to become fresh and
verdant, while another is like unto blight which causeth the blossoms and
flowers to wither. God grant that
authors among the friends will write in such a way as would be acceptable to
fair-minded souls, and not lead to cavilling by the people. - Bahá’u’lláh (From
a Tablet; compilation: ‘Social Action’, Prepared by the Research Department of
the Universal House of Justice, August 2020)
