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: "In all matters moderation is desirable. If a thing is carried to excess, it will prove a source of evil... Strange and astonishing things exist in the earth but they are hidden from the minds and the understanding of men. These things are capable of changing the whole atmosphere of the earth and their contamination would prove lethal..." – Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh, Kalimát-i-Firdawsíyyih (Words of Paradise), ninth leaf, ¶31-32 (BH00111) “Scientific discoveries have greatly increased material civilization. There is in existence a stupendous force, as yet, happily, undiscovered by man. Let us supplicate God, the Beloved, that this force be not discovered by science until Spiritual Civilization shall dominate the human mind! In the hands of men of lower material nature, this power would be able to destroy the whole earth.” – Pilgrims notes of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’ in Paris, 1911, by Lady Sara Louisa Blomfield (reported words spoken to the Japanese minister to Spain, Viscount Arawaka, who, together with the Viscountess received ‘Abdu’l-Bahá at the Hotel d’Jena in Paris in 1911). Published also in The Bahá’í World 6, pp. 656–657 (1937); also in The Chosen Highway (1940), pp. 183-184. No Persian transcript known. (ABU2879) "The words of Bahá'u'lláh regarding 'a strange and wonderful instrument...' can, in the light of what the Master said in San Francisco, be taken as a reference to the great destructive power atomic energy can be made to release." From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, March 16, 1946, in: Lights of Guidance, no. 1585
