One World
 

Of old it hath been revealed: "Love of one's country is an element of the Faith of God." The Tongue of Grandeur hath, however, in the day of His manifestation proclaimed: "It is not his to boast who loveth his country, but it is his who loveth the world."

   -Baha'u'llah
Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh, pp. 95
