A Bahá’í denies no religion; he accepts the Truth in all… He
loves all men as his brothers, of whatever class, of whatever race or
nationality, of whatever creed or colour, whether good or bad, rich or poor,
beautiful or hideous. He commits no violence; if he is struck he does not
return the blow. He calls nothing bad, following the example of the Lord
Bahá’u’lláh. As a safeguard against intemperance he does not drink wine or
spirits. Bahá’u’lláh has said it is not good for a sane man to take that which
will destroy his health and sense.
