The words, the deeds, the attitudes, the lack of prejudice,
the nobility of character, the high sense of service to others -- in a word,
those qualities and actions which distinguish a Bahá'í must unfailingly
characterize their inner life and outer behaviour, and their interactions with
friend or foe.
