selected quotations (authoritative sources)	These quotations reflect common presentations of Bahá’í views; the materials below may show a wider range of interpretations and contexts: "... Ye have been forbidden in the Book of God to engage in contention and conflict, to strike another, or to commit similar acts whereby hearts and souls may be saddened... Wish not for others what ye wish not for yourselves; fear God, and be not of the prideful. Ye are all created out of water, and unto dust shall ye return. Reflect upon the end that awaiteth you, and walk not in the ways of the oppressor..." – Bahá'u'lláh, Kitáb-i-Aqdas, ¶148 "... The Sun of His loving-kindness hath shone forth from the horizon of His grace in such wise that it hath abrogated the law of the sword and ordained that the Cause be rendered victorious only through the power of wisdom and utterance. ... The Supreme Pen hath, in ringing tones, enjoined love and fellowship on the whole world and hath categorically forbidden everyone to engage in that which is the cause of division, discord, estrangement, and the like, so that His grace and bounty, His favour and generosity may be made manifest..." – from 'Bahá'u'lláh, Additional Tablets and Extracts from Tablets Revealed by Bahá’u’lláh (BSW 3.14; BH00219) "... The text of the divine Book is this: If two souls quarrel and contend about a question of the divine questions, differing and disputing, both are wrong. The wisdom of this incontrovertible law of God is this: That between two souls from amongst the believers of God, no contention and dispute may arise; that they may speak with each other with infinite amity and love. Should there appear the least trace of controversy, they must remain silent, and both parties must continue their discussions no longer, but ask the reality of the question from the Interpreter. This is the irrefutable command..." – 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Tablets of the Divine Plan, no. 8 (Tablet to the Bahá’ís of the United States and Canada) (AB00032)
