We ask thee to reflect upon that which hath been revealed, and to be fair and just in thy speech, that perchance the splendors of the daystar of truthfulness and sincerity may shine forth, and may deliver thee from the darkness of ignorance, and illumine the world with the light of knowledge.
- Baha'u'llah, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 10
He hopes that you will develop into Bahá’ís in character as well as in belief. The whole purpose of Bahá’u’lláh is that we should become a new kind of people, people who are upright, kind, intelligent, truthful, and honest and who live according to His great laws laid down for this new epoch in man's development. To call ourselves Bahá’ís is not enough, our inmost being must become ennobled and enlightened through living a Bahá'í life.
- Written on behalf of the Guardian, The Compilation of Compilations vol II, p. 432
