… Whenever the True Counselor uttered a word in admonishment, lo, they all denounced Him as a mover of mischief and rejected His claim. How bewildering, how confusing is such behavior!

In like manner, if the heart of man be corrupted, his limbs will also be corrupted. … Thus have We set forth similitudes for your instruction, that perchance ye may not be debarred by the things ye possess from attaining unto that which hath been destined for you…

Beware lest ye shed the blood of any one. Unsheathe the sword of your tongue from the scabbard of utterance, for therewith ye can conquer the citadels of men’s hearts. We have abolished the law to wage holy war against each other.

O ye wise men of the City and philosophers of the world!
Beware lest human learning and wisdom cause you to wax proud before God, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.
