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’)
