As for those who are engaged in government service, they
should perform their duties with the utmost fidelity, trustworthiness,
rectitude, uprightness, integrity and high-mindedness. Let them not tarnish
their good repute by pursuing personal interests, nor, for the sake of
transient worldly benefits, make themselves objects of public odium and
outcasts of the Threshold of Grandeur. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, from a Tablet; The
Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, Trustworthiness: A Cardinal Bahá'í Virtue)
