It behooveth the loved ones of the Lord to be the signs and tokens of His universal mercy and the embodiments of His own excelling grace. Like the sun, let them cast their rays upon garden and rubbish heap alike, and even as clouds in spring, let them shed down their rain upon flower and thorn.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet quoted by the Universal House of Justice in a letter dated 3 June 2008 to the ‘Believers in the Cradle of the Faith’; online Baha’i Reference Library of the Baha’i World Center)
