Settle all things, both great and small, by consultation.
Without prior consultation, take no important step in your own personal
affairs. Concern yourselves with one another. Help along one another's projects
and plans. Grieve over one another. Let none in the whole country go in need.
Befriend one another until ye become as a single body, one and all....
- ‘Abdu'l-Bahá (The Compilation of
Compilations, vol. I, Consultation)
