God be praised! The sun of justice hath risen above the
horizon of Bahá’u’lláh. For in His Tablets the foundations of such a justice
have been laid as no mind hath, from the beginning of creation, conceived…The
canopy of existence resteth upon the pole of justice, and not of forgiveness,
and the life of mankind dependeth on justice and not on forgiveness.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Advent of Divine Justice’)
