To look always at the good and not at the bad. If a man has ten good qualities and one bad one, to look at the ten and forget the one; and if a man has ten bad qualities and one good one, to look at the one and forget the ten.

-- Esslemont, Baha'u'llah and the New Era, p. 83

: Abdu'l=Baha tells us -

: "To look always at the good and not at the bad. If a man has ten good qualities and one bad one, to look at the ten and forget the one; and if a man has ten bad qualities and one good one, to look at the one afn forget the ten."

: I have looked everywhere, including searching MARS, and cannot find documentation for this quote. Can anyone help me? (Please email me)

: Thank you.
