The foundation of all virtues

"Truthfulness is the foundation of all virtues..."

~ Abdu'l-Baha


"The distinguishing feature that marketh the preeminent character of this Supreme Revelation consisteth in that We have, on the one hand, blotted out from the pages of God's holy Book whatsoever hath been the cause of strife, of malice and mischief amongst the children of men, and have, on the other, laid down the essential prerequisites of concord, of understanding, of complete and enduring unity. Well is it with them that keep My statutes."

~ Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 96


"Immerse yourselves in the ocean of My words, that ye may unravel its secrets, and discover all the pearls of wisdom that lie hid in its depths. Take heed that ye do not vacillate in your determination to embrace the truth of this Cause -- a Cause through which the potentialities of the might of God have been revealed, and His sovereignty established."

~ Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 136-
