"... Man’s true honour lieth in wisdom, understanding and an upright character, not in amassing earthly ornaments, in vainglory and conceit. All were created out of dust, and unto dust shall they return. O people of Bahá! Man’s true adornment consisteth not in the trappings of this world, but rather in recognition of the one true God—magnified be His might!—and in sciences, crafts and upright conduct..." – Bahá’u’lláh, from a Tablet, translated from the original language, in: Bahá’í Sacred Writings, chapter 5, 45.5 |
