The practice of nobility

"It is possible to so adjust one's self to the practice of nobility that its atmosphere surrounds and colors every act. When actions are habitually and conscientiously adjusted to noble standards, with no thought of the words that might herald them, then nobility becomes the accent of life. At such a degree of evolution one scarcely needs try any longer to be good - all our deeds are the distinctive expression of nobility."

-- Abdu'l Baha
