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 given in Paris, October 16, 1911, ‘Paris
Talks’)
