…the divine
policy is justice and kindness toward all mankind. For all the nations of the
world are the sheep of God, and God is the kind shepherd. He has created these
sheep. He has protected them, sustained and trained them. What greater kindness
than this? And every moment we must render a hundred thousand thanksgivings
that, praise be to God, we are freed from all the ignorant prejudices, are kind
to all the sheep of God, and our utmost hope is to serve each and all, and like
unto a benevolent father educate every one.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of the
Divine Plan’)
