  It has been said that diversity is the spice of life and I for one have to agree. Think how dull and boring it would be if everyone around you walked the same, talked the same, looked the same, smelled the same. I think that you get the picture.

In today's society, diversity is more widely accepted than it was for our forefathers. In today's world, we are more free to be ourselves.

With that said, some people do not accept diversity and are blinded by their own hatred. The best way to combat hatred is through love.

I hope that you find one of these quotes that will give you insiration for the day and remember that the pictures are live and will take you to never never land.

 

"It were not best that we should all think alike; it is difference of opinion that makes horse races."
Mark Twain

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

"Variety is the spice of life."
Proverb

"Life lies in diversity, not in monotony."
M.K. Soni, from LIFE IS LIKE A MULTIFACETED PRISM

"If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity."
John F. Kennedy

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

"At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time."
Friedrich Nietzsche

"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

11 Comments on Diversity - Power Quotes Series

These are wonderful quotes about the importance of appreciating each person for who they are not who we might wish them to be. If Everybody Looked The Same

Danny ~ This one is my favorite: Diversity is not about how we differ. Diversity is about embracing one another's uniqueness." Ola Joseph

Everyone brings something special to the table.  It is a lot harder to fight our differences than to accept them and make wonderful things happen.

 Danny, these are all great quotes and I especially like the Carter quote. While we all have different backgrounds & beliefs we can co-exist, learn from one another and enrich our lives in the process.

Rich, I can believe it.

Brande, this is correct.

Debbie, that is so true. However, I watch people run from this very thing daily.

Danny, I'm sure you do. One of my girls has a better tan than the other, some people can't deal with that.

03/28/2008 05:42 PM by Debbie Malone, Realtor (R), Lynchburg, Smith Mountain Lake, VA (RE/MAX 1st Olympic)


Keith & Robin, I am with you there.

Debbie, that is just plain stupid. 

03/28/2008 05:44 PM by Danny Thornton (Home America Mortgage, INC.)


Danny, it just shows that there are still a lot of closed minds out there.

03/28/2008 05:49 PM by Debbie Malone, Realtor (R), Lynchburg, Smith Mountain Lake, VA (RE/MAX 1st Olympic)


Debbie, that is the problem with the world today.
