…Bahá’u’lláh has proclaimed to the world the solidarity of
nations and the oneness of humanity. Addressing all mankind He has said, “Ye
are all leaves of one tree and the drops of one sea.” The world of humanity has
been expressed by Him as a unit—as one family.

Delivered by 'Abdu'l-Bahá during His Visit to the United States and Canada in
