A Baha'i is known by the attributes manifested by him, not
by his name; he is recognized by his character, not by his person.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet; quoted in an open letter from the National
Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Iran about the Banning of the Baha'i
Administration; included in Messages from the Universal House of Justice
1963-1986’)
