To 'Abdu'l-Baha

"That one indeed is a man who, today, dedicateth himself to the service of the entire human race. The Great Being saith: Blessed and happy is he that ariseth to promote the best interests of the peoples and kindreds of the earth. In another passage He hath proclaimed: It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens."
Bahá’u’lláh12

His actions expressed
both his love and loyalty
to humanity.

The perfect example,
through both his words and deeds,
of a world citizen.

He was at home
in whatever country he
lived or visited.
