Animals are of two kinds, one the grazing and domestic; the
other the wild and ferocious. If the wild beasts are near each other for ten
years, still, as soon as they find an opportunity they attack and tear one
another to pieces; whereas the tame creatures show their kind feelings toward
each other. The beloved of God are like the blessed birds; they are kind and
merciful.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, 10 May 1910, recorded by Mason
Remey; Star of the West, vol. 1, no. 8, August 1, 1910)
