The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens

The earth is but one country and Mankind its citizens.

Do not be content with showing friendship in words alone, let your heart burn with loving kindness for all who may cross your path.

All peoples and nations are of one family, the children of one Father, and should be to one another as brothers and sisters.

Religious fanaticism and hatred are a world-devouring fire, whose violence none can quench.

The utterance of God is a lamp, whose light is these words: Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Deal ye one with another with the utmost love and harmony, with friendliness and fellowship. ... So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.

All that ye potentially possess can…be manifested only as a result of your own volition.”Bahá’u’lláh
