Baha'u'llah Country Quotations

The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens

The country is the world of the soul, the city is the world of bodies.

Let not a man glory in this, that he loves his country; let him rather glory in this, that he loves his kind.

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.

It behoveth the sovereigns of the world may God assist them or the ministers of the earth to take counsel together and to adopt one of the existing languages or a new one to be taught to children in schools throughout the world, and likewise one script. Thus the whole earth will come to be regarded as one country.

It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world.
