Bahá’í Quotes

Plans - Government

The government of the countries should conform to the Divine Law which gives equal justice to all. This is the only way in which the deplorable superfluity of great wealth and miserable, demoralizing, degrading poverty can be abolished. Not until this is done will the Law of God be obeyed.

- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 154

There must be special laws made, dealing with these extremes of riches and of want. The members of the Government should consider the laws of God when they are framing plans for the ruling of the people. The general rights of mankind must be guarded and preserved.

- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 153-154
