Bend thou with tenderness over the servitors of the
All-Merciful, that thou mayest hoist the sail of love upon the ark of peace
that moveth across the seas of life. Let nothing grieve thee, and be thou
angered at none. It behoveth thee to be content with the Will of God, and a
true and loving and trusted friend to all the peoples of the earth, without any
exceptions whatever. This is the quality of the sincere, the way of the saints,
the emblem of those who believe in the unity of God, and the raiment of the
people of Bahá.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha ('Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha')
