“The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee. ” — Baha’u'llah, Hidden Words 1:2

“Verily, We shall render Thee victorious by Thyself and by Thy Pen.  Grieve Thou not for that which hath befallen Thee, neither be Thou afraid, for Thou art in safety.  Erelong will God raise up the treasures of the earth — men who will aid Thee through Thyself and through Thy Name, wherewith God hath revived the earts of such as have recognized Him.”  –Baha’u'llah, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf
