One of my favorite passages from the Kitab-i-Aqdas is the following:
"It is inadmissible that man, who hath been
endowed with reason, should consume that which
stealeth it away. Nay, rather it behoveth him to
comport himself in a manner worthy of the human
station, and not in accordance with the misdeeds of
every heedless and wavering soul."
(Baha'u'llah, The Kitab-i-Aqdas, p. 62)
