Strive diligently to acquire such goodly qualities and
traits of character as will be the cause of everlasting salvation. Make not the
fruits of the tree of trustworthiness targets for the stones of treachery, nor
rend its boughs asunder with the instruments of tyranny and oppression.
Truthfulness and sincerity have always been the ornament of a man's character,
and so they shall ever be.
- ‘Baha’u’llah (From a Tablet; The Compilation of
Compilations, Vol. II, Trustworthiness)
