For the attributes of the people of faith are justice and
fair-mindedness; forbearance and compassion and generosity; consideration for
others; candor, trustworthiness, and loyalty; love and loving-kindness;
devotion and determination and humanity. If therefore an individual is truly
righteous, he will avail himself of all those means which will attract the
hearts of men, and through the attributes of God he will draw them to the
straight path of faith and cause them to drink from the river of everlasting
life.
(Abdu'l-Baha, The Secret of Divine Civilization)
