quote[0] = 'Not to Backbite or Fault-find <DT> ----- <DT> He should forgive the sinful, and never despise his low estate, for none knoweth what his own end shall be.  How often hath a sinner, at the hour of death, attained to the essence of faith, and, quaffing the immortal draught, hath taken his flight unto the celestial Concourse. And how often hath a devout believer, at the hour of his soul\'s ascension, been so changed as to fall into the nethermost fire.'; 

quote[1] = 'Engaging in an Occupation <DT> ----- <DT> One of the names of God is the Fashioner.  He loveth craftsmanship.  Therefore any of His servants who manifesteth this attribute is acceptable in the sight of this Wronged One.  The people of Bah&aacute\; should not deny any soul the reward due to him, should treat craftsmen with deference, and, unlike the people aforetime, should not defile their tongues with abuse.'; 

quote[2] = 'Not to be Idle or Slothful <DT> ----- <DT> Waste not your hours in idleness and sloth, but occupy yourselves with what will profit you and others.  Guard against idleness and sloth, and cling unto that which profiteth mankind, whether young or old, whether high or low.'; 

quote[3] = 'Wealth <DT> ----- <DT> The essence of wealth is love for Me\; whoso loveth Me is the possessor of all things, and he that loveth Me not is indeed of the poor and needy.  This is that which the Finger of Glory and Splendour hath revealed. <DT> By \'riches\' therefore is meant independence of all else but God, and by \'poverty\' the lack of things that are of God.'; 

quote[4] = 'Wealth <DT> ----- <DT> O Ye That Pride Yourselves on Mortal Riches!  Know ye in truth that wealth is a mighty barrier between the seeker and his desire, the lover and his beloved.  The rich, but for a few, shall in no wise attain the court of His presence nor enter the city of content and resignation.'; 

quote[5] = 'Wealth <DT> ----- <DT> O Son of My Handmaid!  Be not troubled in poverty nor confident in riches, for poverty is followed by riches, and riches are followed by poverty. <DT> O Son of Man!  Should prosperity befall thee, rejoice not, and should abasement come upon thee, grieve not, for both shall pass away and be no more.'; 

quote[6] = 'Wealth <DT> ----- <DT> O My servants!  Were ye to discover the hidden, the shoreless oceans of My incorruptible wealth, ye would, of a certainty, esteem as nothing the world, nay, the entire creation. <DT> Man\'s merit lieth in service and virtue and not in the pageantry of wealth and riches.'; 

quote[7] = 'Wealth <DT> ----- <DT> Having attained the stage of fulfilment and reached his maturity, man standeth in need of wealth, and such wealth as he acquireth through crafts and professions is commendable and praiseworthy in the estimation of men of wisdom ...'; 

quote[8] = 'Wealth <DT> ----- <DT> Say:  Pride not yourselves on earthly riches ye possess.   Reflect upon your end and upon the recompense for your works that hath been  ordained in the Book of God, the Exalted, the Mighty. Blessed is the rich man  whom earthly possessions have been powerless to hinder from turning unto God,  the Lord of all names.  Verily he is accounted among the most distinguished of  men before God, the Gracious, the All-Knowing.'; 

quote[9] = 'Wealth <DT> ----- <DT> O Son of Man!  Thou dost wish for gold and I desire thy freedom from it.  Thou thinkest thyself rich in its possession, and I recognize thy wealth in thy sanctity therefrom.  By My life!  This is My knowledge, and that is thy fancy\; how can My way accord with thine?'; 

quote[10] = 'Treatment of the Poor <DT> ----- <DT> O Ye Rich Ones on Earth!  The poor in your midst are My trust\; guard ye My trust, and be not intent only on your own ease. <DT> O Son of Man!  Bestow My wealth upon My poor, that in heaven thou mayest draw from stores of unfading splendor and treasures of imperishable glory.  But by My life!  To offer up thy soul is a more glorious thing couldst thou but see with Mine eye.'; 

quote[11] = 'Repenting of Sins <DT> ----- <DT> When the sinner findeth himself wholly detached and freed from all save God, he should beg forgiveness and pardon from Him.  Confession of sins and transgressions before human beings is not permissible, as it hath never been nor will ever be conducive to divine forgiveness.'; 

quote[12] = 'Treatment of the Poor <DT> ----- <DT> O Son of Spirit!  Vaunt not thyself over the poor, for I lead him on his way and behold thee in thy evil plight and confound thee for evermore. <DT> O ye rich ones on earth!  If ye encounter one who is poor, treat him not disdainfully. Reflect upon that whereof ye were created.  Every one of you was created of a sorry germ.'; 

quote[13] = 'Treatment of the Poor <DT> ----- <DT> Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer of the cry of the needy ... <DT> Be ... a sea for the thirsty, a haven for the distressed, an upholder and defender of the victim of oppression.'; 

quote[14] = 'Treatment of the Poor <DT> ----- <DT> The beginning of magnanimity is when man expendeth his wealth on himself, on his family and on the poor among his brethren in his Faith. <DT> O ye that are the exponents of generosity and the manifestations thereof!  Be generous unto them whom ye find in manifest poverty.'; 

quote[15] = 'Treatment of the Poor <DT> ----- <DT> They who are possessed of riches, however, must have the utmost regard for the poor, for great is the honor destined by God for those poor who are steadfast in patience.  By My life! There is no honor, except what God may please to bestow, that can compare to this honor.  Great is the blessedness awaiting the poor that endure patiently and conceal their sufferings, and well is with the rich who bestow their riches on the needy and prefer them before themselves.'; 

quote[16] = 'Not to Backbite or Fault-find <DT> ----- <DT> Ye have been forbidden to commit murder or adultery, or to engage in backbiting or calumny\; shun ye, then, what hath been prohibited in the holy Books and Tablets.'; 

quote[17] = 'Not to Backbite or Fault-find <DT> ----- <DT> O Son of Man!  Breathe not the sins of others so long as thou art thyself a sinner.  Shouldst thou transgress this command, accursed wouldst thou be, and to this I bear witness. <DT> O Son of Being!  How couldst thou forget thine own faults and busy thyself with the faults of others?  Whoso doeth this is accursed of Me.'; 

quote[18] = 'Not to Backbite or Fault-find <DT> ----- <DT> ... well is it with the righteous that mock not the sinful, but rather conceal their misdeeds, so that their own shortcomings may remain veiled to men\'s eyes.'; 

quote[19] = 'Not to Backbite or Fault-find <DT> ----- <DT> O Companion of My Throne!  Hear no evil, and see no evil, abase not thyself, neither sigh and weep.  Speak no evil, that thou mayest not hear it spoken unto thee, and magnify not the faults of others that thine own faults may not appear great ...'; 

quote[20] = 'Repenting of Sins <DT> ----- <DT> Should anyone be afflicted by a sin, it behoveth him to repent thereof and return unto his Lord.  He, verily, granteth forgiveness unto whomsoever He willeth, and none may question that which it pleaseth Him to ordain.'; 

quote[21] = 'Purity of Heart <DT> ----- <DT> O Son of Spirit!  My first counsel is this:  Possess a pure, kindly and radiant heart, that thine may be a sovereignty ancient, imperishable and everlasting.'; 

quote[22] = 'Cleanliness and Refinement <DT> ----- <DT> Be ye the very essence of cleanliness amongst mankind.  This, truly, is what your Lord, the Incomparable, the All-Wise, desireth for you. <DT> O Son of Man!  The temple of being is My throne\; cleanse it of all things, that there I may be established and there I may abide.'; 

quote[23] = 'Purity of Heart <DT> ----- <DT> O Son of Being!  Thy heart is My home\; sanctify it for My descent.  Thy spirit is My place of revelation\; cleanse it for My manifestation.'; 

quote[24] = 'Cleanliness and Refinement <DT> ----- <DT> Take heed lest, when partaking of food, ye plunge your hands into the contents of bowls and platters.  Adopt ye such usages as are most in keeping with refinement.  He, verily, desireth to see in you the manners of the inmates of Paradise in His mighty and most sublime Kingdom.'; 

quote[25] = 'Cleanliness and Refinement <DT> ----- <DT> Cleave ye unto the cord of refinement with such tenacity as to allow no trace of dirt to be seen upon your garments.  Such is the injunction of One Who is sanctified above all refinement.'; 

quote[26] = 'Engaging in an Occupation <DT> ----- <DT> O people of Bah&aacute\;!  It is incumbent upon each one of you to engage in some occupation--such as a craft, a trade or the like.  We have exalted your engagement in such work to the rank of worship of the one true God. <DT> To engage in some profession is highly commendable, for when occupied with work one is less likely to dwell on the unpleasant aspects of life.'; 

quote[27] = 'Engaging in an Occupation <DT> ----- <DT> O My Servants!  Ye are the trees of My garden\; ye must give forth goodly and wondrous fruits, that ye yourselves and others may profit therefrom.  Thus it is incumbent on every one to engage in crafts and professions, for therein lies the secret of wealth, O men of understanding!  For results depend upon means, and the grace of God shall be all-sufficient unto you.  Trees that yield no fruit have been and will  ever be for the fire.'; 

quote[28] = 'Engaging in an Occupation <DT> ----- <DT> The most despised of men in the sight of God are they who sit and beg.  Hold ye fast unto the cord of means and place your trust in God, the Provider of all means. <DT> It is unlawful to beg, and it is forbidden to give to him who beggeth.  All have been enjoined to earn a living ...'; 

quote[29] = 'Engaging in an Occupation <DT> ----- <DT> We have enjoined upon all to become engaged in some trade or profession, and have accounted such occupation to be an act of worship.';
