This
span of earth is but one homeland and one habitation. It behoveth you to
abandon vainglory which causeth alienation and to set your hearts on whatever
will ensure harmony. In the estimation of the people of
Bahá man’s glory lieth in his knowledge, his upright conduct, his praiseworthy
character, his wisdom, and not in his nationality or rank.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas)
