Praise be to God: The United States has in reality made
extraordinary progress; day by day they are advancing toward the ultimate goal!
The material virtues of the people are many; now they must think of the ideal
virtues, so that the highest of the perfections of humanity may illumine the
regions of America. Among the highest virtues is universal peace, the oneness
of humanity.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet, Star of the West, vol. 5, no. 11,
September 27, 1914)
