quote[0] = 'Education <DT> ----- <DT> Man is the supreme Talisman.

Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom.';

quote[1] = 'Understanding <DT> ----- <DT> True loss is for him whose days have been spent in utter ignorance of his self. <DT>  Could ye apprehend with what wonders of My munificence and bounty I have willed to entrust your souls, ye would, of a truth, rid yourselves of attachment to all created things, and would gain a true knowledge of your own selves--a knowledge which is the same as the comprehension of Mine own Being.'; 

quote[2] = 'Learning <DT> ----- <DT> We have decreed, O people, that the highest and last end of all learning be the recognition of Him Who is the Object of all knowledge\; and yet, behold how ye have allowed your learning to shut you out, as by a veil, from Him Who is the Dayspring of this Light, through Whom every hidden thing hath been revealed.'; 

quote[3] = 'Learning <DT> ----- <DT> Know thou that he is truly learned who hath acknowledged My Revelation, and drunk from the Ocean of My knowledge, and soared in the atmosphere of My love, and cast away all else besides Me, and taken firm hold on that which hath been sent down from the Kingdom of My wondrous utterance.';

quote[7] = 'Learning <DT> ----- <DT> The purpose of learning should be the promotion of the welfare of the people, and this can be achieved through crafts.

quote[8] = 'Knowledge <DT> ----- <DT> The first Tajalli which hath dawned from the Day-Star of Truth is the knowledge of God--exalted be His glory.  And the knowledge of the King of everlasting days can in no wise be attained save by recognizing Him Who is the Bearer of the Most Great Name.'; 

quote[9] = 'Knowledge <DT> ----- <DT> In truth, knowledge is a veritable treasure for man, and a source of glory, of bounty, of joy, of exaltation, of cheer and gladness unto him. <DT>  In the estimation of the people of Bah&aacute\; man\'s glory lieth in his knowledge, his upright conduct, his praiseworthy character, his wisdom, and not in his nationality or rank.'; 

quote[10] = 'Knowledge <DT> ----- <DT> ... \'Knowledge is a light which God casteth into the heart of whomsoever He willeth.\'  It is this kind of knowledge which is and hath ever been praiseworthy, and not the limited knowledge that hath sprung forth from veiled and obscured minds.'; 

quote[11] = 'Knowledge <DT> ----- <DT> Cleave to the Root of Knowledge, and to Him Who is the Fountain thereof, that thou mayest find thyself independent of all who claim to be well versed in human learning, and whose claim no clear proof, nor the testimony of any enlightening book, can support.  We beseech God to strengthen thee with His power, and enable thee to recognize Him Who is the Source of all knowledge...'; 

quote[12] = 'Teaching <DT> ----- <DT> Gird up the loins of thine endeavor, that haply thou mayest guide thy neighbor to the law of God, the Most Merciful.  Such an act, verily, excelleth all other acts in the sight of God, the All-Possessing, the Most High.'; 

quote[13] = 'Knowledge <DT> ----- <DT> Knowledge is one of the wondrous gifts of God.  It is incumbent upon everyone to acquire it.  Such arts and material means as are now manifest have been achieved by virtue of His knowledge and wisdom which have been revealed in Epistles and Tablets through His Most Exalted Pen ...';

Whoso faileth to recite them hath not been faithful to the Covenant of God and His Testament, and and whoso turneth away from these holy verses in this Day is of those who throughout eternity have turned away from God. <DT> Peruse ye every day the verses revealed by God.

quote[20] = 'Reciting Verses <DT> ----- <DT> The prime requisite is the eagerness and love of sanctified souls to read the Word of God. To read one verse, or even one word, in a spirit of joy and radiance, is preferable to the perusal of many Books.'; 

quote[21] = 'Reciting Verses <DT> ----- <DT> Peruse My verses with joy and radiance.  Verily they will attract you unto God and will enable you to detach yourselves from all else save Him.';

quote[22] = 'Reciting Verses <DT> ----- <DT> Occupy thyself in remembrance of the Beauty of Him Who is the Unconstrained, at early morn and seek communion with Him at the hour of dawn.  O \'Ali!  Remembrance of Me is a healing medicine to the souls and a light to the hearts of men.';
