Bahá’í Quotes

Live the Life

"It makes no difference whether you have ever heard of Bahá’u’lláh or not," was the answer, "the man who lives the life according to the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh is already a Bahá’í. On the other hand a man may call himself a Bahá’í for fifty years and if he does not live the life he is not a Bahá’í. An ugly man may call himself handsome, but he deceives no one, and a black man may call himself white yet he deceives no one: not even himself!

- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in London, p. 106
