People make much profession of goodness, multiplying fine words because they wish to be thought greater and better than their fellows, seeking fame in the eyes of the world. Those who do most good use fewest words concerning their actions.
The children of God do the works without boasting, obeying His laws.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk in Paris, October 16, 1911, ‘Paris Talks’)
