“ One must see in every human being only that which is worthy
of praise. When this is done, one can be a friend to the whole human
race. If, however, we look at people from the standpoint of their
faults, then being a friend to them is a formidable task............

.....Thus is it incumbent upon us, when we direct our gaze toward
other people, to see where they excel, not where they fail.
”
― Abdu'l-Baha

“My heart is in a constant state of thanksgiving.”

“To oppose knowledge is ignorant, and he who detests knowledge and science is not a man, but rather an animal without intelligence. For knowledge is light, life, felicity, perfection, beauty and the means of approaching the Threshold of Unity. It is the honor and glory of the world of humanity, and the greatest bounty of God. Knowledge is identical with guidance, and ignorance is real error”
― Abdu'l-Bahá

“ Man is in reality a spiritual being and only when he lives in the spirit is he truly happy. ”
― Abdu'l-Baha
