Of all men the most negligent is he that disputeth idly and seeketh to advance himself over his brother. — Bahá’u’lláh

Bahá’u’lláh: The Hidden Words, Part Two (Persian), No. 5

O Son of Dust! Verily I say unto thee: Of all men the most negligent is he that disputeth idly and seeketh to advance himself over his brother. Say: O brethren! Let deeds, not words, be your adorning.

— Bahá’u’lláh
