“The night is come, but not too soon; And sinking silently, All silently, the little moon Drops down behind the sky. There is no light in earth or heaven But the cold light of stars; And the first watch of night is given To the red planet Mars.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: The Light of Stars
“Be kind to all peoples; care for every person… strive ye to gladden every soul. To every meadow be a shower of grace, to every tree the water of life; be as sweet musk to the sense of humankind, and to the ailing be a fresh, restoring breeze. Be pleasing waters to all those who thirst, a careful guide to all who have lost their way; be father and mother to the orphan, be loving sons and daughters to the old, be an abundant treasure to the poor.” – ‘Abdu’l-Bahá
“Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer of the cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge.” – Bahá’u’lláh
Every moment is yours. Don’t let it be stolen away, To be abused by the fleating moods of your surroundings. It is yours to cherish, To love and dwell in.
