“Attire us then with the robe of forgiveness, O my God, in this Day whereon Thou hast assumed the throne of Thy grace and bounty invested with the full glory of Thy names and attributes; the Day whereon the sun of Thy beauty hath dawned above the horizon of Thy grandeur, and the signs of Thy glorious sovereignty have been vouchsafed from the treasury of Thy grace; the Day whereon the sweet savours of reunion have wafted over all who are in Thy heaven and on Thine earth, and the hidden Word hath shone forth from the repository of Thy protection and power.” -Bahá’u’lláh, Days of Remembrance

“The Almighty hath not created in man the claws and teeth of ferocious animals, nay rather hath the human form been fashioned and set with the most comely attributes and adorned with the most perfect virtues. The honor of this creation and the worthiness of this garment therefore require man to have love and affinity for his own kind, nay rather, to act towards all living creatures with justice and equity.” -‘Abdu’l‑Bahá, Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá

“I implore Thee by the splendour of the light of Thy glorious face, the majesty of Thine ancient grandeur and the power of Thy transcendent sovereignty to ordain for us at this moment every measure of that which is good and seemly and to destine for us every portion of the outpourings of Thy grace. For granting of gifts doth not cause Thee loss, nor doth the bestowing of favours diminish Thy wealth.” -The Báb, Selections From the Writings of the Báb

“No one walks the path alone; each one of us is helped by others to carry out specific tasks, to gain assurance, and to serve more effectively. Encouragement is a sustaining power to be drawn upon at every step. When obstacles confront us and despondency sets in, we bring hope to one another, reminding ourselves that the bounties of God always surround us. When doubts arise and confidence is shaken, we press on together, putting our complete trust in God and in His unfailing grace.” -Ruhi Book 10, Unit 2, “Consultation”, page 95

“In the matrix of the mother the unborn child was deprived and unconscious of the world of material existence, but after its birth it beheld the wonders and beauties of a new realm of life and being. In the world of the matrix it was utterly ignorant and unable to conceive of these new conditions, but after its transformation it discovers the radiant sun, trees, flowers and an infinite range of blessings and bounties awaiting it.” -Abdu’l‑Bahá, The Promulgation of Universal Peace
