Note ye how easily, where unity existeth in a given family,
the affairs of that family are conducted; what progress the members of that
family make, how they prosper in the world. Their concerns are in order, they
enjoy comfort and tranquility, they are secure, their position is assured, they
come to be envied by all. Such a family but addeth to its stature and its
lasting honour, as day succeedeth day....
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Selections from the Writings of `Abdu'l-Bahá’; The
Compilation of Compilations, Vol. I, Family Life)
