Honesty
Nay, rather, the government and people should come to repose such trust in the Bahá’ís as to wish to commit all affairs of state throughout the provinces into the chaste, pure hands of God's well-beloved.

Were one of the friends in this day to misappropriate so much as a single penny, the scattered mantle of God's Cause would become sullied by his action and the shame of it would attach to the whole community.

Quote of the Day
Fidal 14 Ilm 182 B.E.
If an Assembly becomes aware that a Bahá’í is mistreating another person, it has a responsibility to use its collective will to counsel that individual about his or her actions. If its counsels are not accepted, the Assembly should not hesitate to implement stronger measures, such as the recommendation that administrative sanctions be placed on the believer.
