"Let each morn be better than its eve and each morrow richer than its yesterday. Man’s merit lieth in service and virtue and not in the pageantry of wealth and riches. Take heed that your words be purged from idle fancies and worldly desires and your deeds be cleansed from craftiness and suspicion. Dissipate not the wealth of your precious lives in the pursuit of evil and corrupt affection, nor let your endeavours be spent in promoting your personal interest. Be generous in your days of plenty, and be patient in the hour of loss. Adversity is followed by success and rejoicings follow woe. Guard against idleness and sloth, and cling unto that which profiteth mankind, whether young or old, whether high or low. Beware lest ye sow tares of dissension among men or plant thorns of doubt in pure and radiant hearts." (Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh revealed after the Kitáb-i-Aqdas)
<<...Que chaque matin soit meilleur que celui de la veille et chaque lendemain plus riche que son hier. Le mérite de l'homme réside dans les services rendus et dans la vertu, non dans l'apparat de l'opulence et de la richesse...Jeune ou vieux, important ou insignifiant, gardez-vous de l'oisiveté et de l'indolence, et attachez-vous à ce qui profite à l'humanité.>>
(Tablettes de Bahá'u'lláh révélées après le Kitáb-i-Aqdas - p. 138.)
