"Set not your affections on mortal sovereignty and rejoice not therein."

O CHILDREN OF NEGLIGENCE!

 Ye are even as the unwary bird that with full confidence warbleth upon the bough; till of a sudden the fowler Death throweth it upon the dust, and the melody, the form and the color are gone, leaving not a trace. Wherefore take heed, O bondslaves of desire!

(Bahá'u'lláh, The Hidden Words, #75 Persian)
