Study the sciences, acquire more and more knowledge.
Assuredly one may learn to the end of one’s life! Use your knowledge always for
the benefit of others; so may war cease on the face of this beautiful earth,
and a glorious edifice of peace and concord be raised. Strive that your high
ideals may be realized in the Kingdom of God on earth, as they will be in
Heaven.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, from a talk, Paris, October 26, 1911, ‘Paris Talks’)
