The arrangements of the circumstances of the people must be
such that poverty shall disappear, and that every one as far as possible,
according to his position and rank, shall be comfortable. Whilst the nobles and
others in high rank are in easy circumstances, the poor also should be able to
get their daily food and not be brought to the extremities of hunger.
(‘Abdu'l-Baha,
from a talk, September 30, 1911; ‘Abdu'l-Baha in London’)
