“I fervently hope that the bell that tolled this morning in honour of this convention may be the death-knell of all fanaticism, of all persecutions with the sword or with the pen, and of all uncharitable feelings between persons wending their way to the same goal.”
Swami Vivekananda, Representative of Hindus
Parliament of Religions, Columbian Exposition, Chicago World Fair
11 September 1893.
