The wave of the future is not the conquest of
the world by a single dogmatic creed
but the liberation of the diverse energies of free nations
and free people. -John F. Kennedy

When
you're finally up on the moon, looking back at the earth,
all these
differences and nationalistic traits are pretty well going
to blend and you're
going to get a concept that maybe this is really one world
and why the
hell can't we learn to live together like decent people?
-Frank
Borman

Peace
is not unity in similarity but unity in diversity,
in the comparison and conciliation of differences.
-Mikhail
Gorbachev

Human diversity makes tolerance more than
a virtue; it makes it a requirement for survival.
-René DuBos
|

|
If
we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting
values, we must
recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so
weave a less
arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human
gift will find a fitting place.
-Margaret
Mead

When a nation encourages the individual
pursuit of happiness, there is
no guarantee that everyone is going to like what everyone
else is doing. That is part of freedom—tolerance of diversity.
-Peter Gilman |

|
| There
are no nations! There is only humanity. And if
we don't come to
understand that right soon, there will be no nations,
because there will be no humanity.
-Issac
Asimov |
| |
| Cultural
differences should not separate us from each other, but
rather
cultural diversity brings a collective strength that can
benefit all of humanity.
-Robert
Alan |

| Diversity
is not about how we differ. Diversity is about embracing one another's uniqueness.
-Ola
Joseph |

|
We all
should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry,
and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry
are equal in value no matter what their color.
-Maya
Angelou

We
have become not a melting pot but a
beautiful mosaic. Different people, different
beliefs, different yearnings,
different hopes, different dreams.
-Jimmy
Carter

There
never were in the world two opinions alike,
no more than two hairs or two grains; the most
universal quality is diversity.

| I am in harmony with God's beautiful world.
A summer bouquet may include an
assortment of flowers in a
rainbow of colors. The variety makes the whole bouquet
even
more beautiful. I realize I am one flower in the
wondrous bouquet of humanity. Without judging or comparing
myself to others, I enjoy the unique beauty in all of us.
I
am a divine expression of God and so is everyone else. As I
value our commonalities
and our differences, I experience
harmony. I relax into knowing that I am loved and
that
I have a unique contribution to make. As I learn to love
myself, I am at peace--with myself and others. Living in
peace, I am in harmony with God's beautiful world.

| As long as the differences and diversities
of mankind exist, democracy must allow for
compromise, for accommodation, and for the recognition of
differences. -Eugene McCarthy |
| |
|
One
day our descendants will think it incredible that we paid so
much
attention to things like the amount of melanin in our skin
or the shape of
our eyes or our gender instead of the unique identities of
each
of us as complex human beings.
-Franklin
Thomas

| I
feel my heart break to see a nation ripped apart by
its own greatest strength--its diversity.
-Melissa

People
need to see that far from being an obstacle, the world's
diversity of
languages, religions, and traditions is a great treasure,
affording us precious
opportunities to recognize ourselves in others.
-Youssou

Why
not let people differ about their
answers to the great mysteries of the
Universe? Let each seek one's own
way to the highest, to one's own sense
of supreme loyalty in life, one's ideal of life. Let each philosophy, each world-view
bring forth its truth and beauty to a
larger perspective, that people may
grow in vision, stature and dedication.
