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 N'Dour

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

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

Mikhail Gorbachev

unattributed (Daily Word)

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

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

Peter Gilman

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

Robert Alan

Issac Asimov

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

Human diversity makes tolerance more than a virtue; it makes it a requirement for survival.

René DuBos

The diversity of the family should be a cause of love
and harmony, as it is in music where many different notes
blend together in the making of a perfect chord.

from the Baha'i Scriptures
