The one true God, exalted be His glory, hath ever regarded,
and will continue to regard, the hearts of men as His own, His exclusive
possession. All else, whether pertaining to land or sea, whether riches or
glory, He hath bequeathed unto the Kings and rulers of the earth.
- Baha'u'llah (Gleanings from the
Writings of Baha'u'llah)
