The parents must exert every effort to rear their offspring to be religious, for should the children not attain this greatest of adornments, they will not obeytheir parents, which in a certain sense means that they will not obey God. Indeed, such children will show no consideration to anyone, and will do exactly as they please.
- Bahá'u'lláh, The Compilation of Compilations vol. I, p. 385
Deliver my longings and greetings to the consolation of thine eye,.... Verily I love them both even as a compassionate father loveth his dear children. As to thee, have for them an abundant love and exert thine utmost in training them, so that their being may grow through the milk of the love of God, forasmuch as it is the duty of parents to perfectly and thoroughly train their children.
- Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablets of Abdul-Bahá ‘Abbás, vol. 2, pp. 262-63
