Let the flame of the love of God burn brightly within your radiant hearts. Feed it with the oil of Divine guidance, and protect it within the shelter of your constancy. Guard it within the globe of trust and detachment from all else but God, so that the evil whisperings of the ungodly may not extinguish its light.

- Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 325

Whatsoever people is graciously favoured therewith by God, its name shall surely be magnified and extolled by the Concourse from on high, by the company of angels, and the denizens of the Abhá Kingdom. And whatsoever people turneth its heart away from this Divine Love - the revelation of the Merciful - shall err grievously, shall fall into despair, and be utterly destroyed… Strive to become the manifestations of the love of God, the lamps of divine guidance shining amongst the kindreds of the earth with the light of love and concord.

- Abdu’l-Bahá, Selections from the Writings of Abdu’l-Bahá, p. 27
