First, you must become united and agreed among yourselves.
You must be exceedingly kind and loving toward each other, willing to forfeit
life in the pathway of another's happiness. You must be ready to sacrifice your
possessions in another's behalf. The rich among you must show compassion toward
the poor, and the well-to-do must look after those in distress.
(Abdu'l-Baha, from
a talk at a Unity Feast on 29 June, 1912, West Englewood, New Jersey; The Promulgation of Universal Peace’)
