All fair-minded
people would attest that Bahá’ís, wherever they reside, labour shoulder to
shoulder with their compatriots for the progress and prosperity of their
nation. Bahá’ís are known to rely on the framework of the law in defence of their
own rights as well as those of others. They aspire to the virtues of
truthfulness and honesty, eschew violence and conflict, and avoid all manner of
partisan politics.

House of Justice, from a letter dated 10 January 2010, addressed to the
believers in the Cradle of the Faith)
