Not to be ostentatious with righteousness
Not to talk of one's doing good
[edit]"A man who does great good, and talks not of it, is on the way to perfection.
"The man who has accomplished a small good and magnifies it in his speech is worth very little."
- (Attributed to 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 16)
"People make much profession of goodness, multiplying fine words because they wish to be thought greater and better than their fellows, seeking fame in the eyes of the world. Those who do most good use fewest words concerning their actions.
"The children of God do the works without boasting, obeying His laws.
