When Jesus Christ asked little children
to come to him, he didn’t say only rich
children, or White children, or children
with two-parent families, or children
who didn’t have a mental or physical
handicap. He said, “let all children come
unto me”. Marian Wright Edelman
Diversity is not about how we

The answer to difference is to
respect it. Therein lies a most

Those differences don’t make us weak.
They’re the source of our strength.

everyone is alike.

thing for a society to live with,

Difference is of the essence of
humanity. Difference is an
accident of birth and it should
therefore never be the source
of hatred or conflict.

I consider myself a Hindu,
Christian, Moslem, Jew,
Buddhist and Confucian.

The biggest mistake is believing
there is one right way to listen,
to talk, to have a conversation –
or a relationship.
