In this Day, We can neither approve the conduct of the
fearful that seeketh to dissemble his faith, nor sanction the behaviour of the
avowed believer that clamorously asserteth his allegiance to this Cause. Both
should observe the dictates of wisdom, and strive diligently to serve the best
interests of the Faith.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of
Bahá'u'lláh’; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. III, Issues Concerning
Community Functioning)
