They who are possessed of riches…must have the utmost regard
for the poor, for great is the honor destined by God for those poor who are
steadfast in patience. By My life! There is no honor, except what God may
please to bestow, that can compare to this honor. Great is the blessedness
awaiting the poor that endure patiently and conceal their sufferings, and well
is it with the rich who bestow their riches on the needy and prefer them before
themselves. - Baha'u'llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah’)
