Passages from the Baha’i scriptures inscribed over the nine entrances of the Baha’i Temple in Wilmette, Illinois, USA

  • The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.
  • The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me.
  • My love is My stronghold; he that entereth therein is safe and secure.
  • Breathe not the sins of others so long as thou art thyself a sinner.
  • Thy heart is My home; sanctify it for My descent.
  • I have made death a messenger of joy to thee; wherefore dost thou grieve.
  • Make mention of Me on My earth, that in My heaven, I may remember thee.
  • Rich ones on earth! The poor in your midst are My trust; guard ye My trust.
  • The source of all learning is the knowledge of God, exalted be His glory!
