Chicago has great capacity. I hope that the banner of the
unity of mankind will be unfurled in this city and that the believers here will
be united and be as the different flowers of one divine garden and become the
adornment of the world of humanity, so that the dormant pulse of this country
will beat vigorously.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, Chicago, November 1, 1912,
recorded by Mahmud Zarqani; ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
