God - First
. . . it does not mean we must not love, but we must reach a spiritual plane where God comes first and great human passions are unable to turn us away from Him. All the time we see people who either through the force of hate or the passionate attachment they have to another person, sacrifice principle or bar themselves from the path of God.
- Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance, p. 512

You are a community of victors; you occupy the front ranks of Bahá’u’lláh's invincible army of light; indeed, you must remain in the vanguard of its thrust.
