Re: Source of paragraph

[Geoff Smith]

Thanks for the quote, there are similarities. The one I gave came from a copy of a CD distributed by our Bahai Council. Perhaps I should ask them its origin!   Regards, Geoff Smith. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Baha'i Studies Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 11:12 AM Subject: Re: Source of paragraph Dear Friend, There is one quote that is similar to the one you cited.  This one is from Baha'i Scriptures.  Where did you find the quote you cited? Every person must have a profession, whether it be literary or manual, and must live a clean, manly, honest life, an example of purity to be imitated by others. It is more kingly to be satisfied with a crust of stale bread than to enjoy a sumptuous dinner of many courses, the money for which comes out of the pockets of others. The mind of a contented person is always peaceful and his heart at rest. He is like a monarch ruling over the whole world. How happily such a man helps himself to his frugal meals! How joyfully he takes his walks, how peacefully he sleeps!
