* Our duty now is to follow the path of this movement together in one unified stand and without ever expecting any rewards in this state of guidance. We should tread this path up until the end because it is for the prosperity of this nation that we be able to implement Islamic tenets and execute Islamic justice, God willing.

* We advised the Shah but his arrogance prevented him from heeding our advice and things ended up the way you see them now. He did not listen to our advice and the situation boiled down to what they are now. He has gone now and he destroyed the country and left. That is, he rendered the whole country in utter ruins that there is not a single patch of land left that is redeemable.

* We have always wanted the people to be prosperous and lead their lives in peace. We never wished such revolution to happen; the revolution that they have brought forward, which brought sufferings for us, and abjection for them; but they acted senselessly and it happened. Had they accepted our advice, things would have not reached this point. Now we are once again advising those who are usurpers. We are advising the illegitimate government; we are advising the army to stop resisting if you want this country to attain peace and stability. Those who are occupying their posts illegally should leave and mind their own business. The army should also return to the nation's embrace and the nation will accept them. If they heed this piece of advice, the problems will be resolved.
