Be ye a refuge to the fearful; bring ye rest and peace to
the disturbed; make ye a provision for the destitute; be a treasury of riches for
the poor; be a healing medicine for those who suffer pain; be ye doctor and
nurse to the ailing; promote ye friendship, and honour, and conciliation, and
devotion to God, in this world of non-existence.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections
from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
