"... 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

"... In this day, should a soul become the cause of sorrow to another soul, no matter from which Faith, this would not be pleasing to this Wronged One... The fundamental purpose of religion as brought down from the heaven of divine Revelation is harmony and union among all people...."
