Writings:
  

"What a power is love! It is the most wonderful, the greatest of all living powers.
Love gives life to the lifeless. Love lights a flame in the heart that is cold. Love brings hope to the hopeless and gladdens the hearts of the sorrowful. "
                                                                                                       Abd'u'l-Baha:Paris Talks pg 184
"When a thought of war comes, oppose it by a stronger thought of peace. A thought of hatred must be destroyed by a more powerful thought of love. Thoughts of war bring destruction to all harmony, well-being, restfulness and content.
Thoughts of love are constructive of brotherhood, peace, friendship, and happiness. "
Abd'u'l-Baha:Paris Talks pg 184

"O FRIEND! In the garden of thy heart plant naught but the rose of love, and from the nightingale of affection and desire loosen not thy hold. Treasure the companionship of the righteous and eschew
all fellowship with the ungodly."
                                                                                                      Baha'u'llah: Hidden Words
 

"The tabernacle of unity hath been raised; regard ye not one another as strangers. Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch."
                                                        Baha'u'llah:Gleanings From The Writings Of Baha'u'llah pg 346

"In the world of existence there is indeed no greater power than the power of love. When the heart of man is aglow with the flame of love, he is ready to sacrifice all—even his life."
                                                                                                           Abdu'l Baha: Paris Talks pg 179
