Influencing others by example

Let love of God be felt by all, especially showing love and patience to those whose thoughts are material and retrograde

"Let your hearts be filled with the great love of God, let it be felt by all; for every man is a servant of God, and all are entitled to a share of the Divine Bounty.

"Especially to those whose thoughts are material and retrograde show the utmost love and patience, thereby winning them into the unity of fellowship by the radiance of your kindness."

('Abdu'l-Bahá, Paris Talks, 20 October, 1911)
