إنّ مَن يُكرّس نفسه اليوم لخدمة الجنس البشري كله هو الرجل الحق. يقول المولى العظيم: طوبى لمن نهض لتعزيز مصالح شعوب الأرض وقبائلها، فليس لمن يحبّ وطنه أن يفخر، بل لمن يحبّ العالم بأسره. الأرض وطنٌ واحد، والبشر مواطنوه.

“That one indeed is a man who, today, dedicateth himself to the service of the entire human race. The Great Being saith: Blessed and happy is he that ariseth to promote the best interests of the peoples and kindreds of the earth. It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.”Bahá'u'lláh
