You never
realize how short a month is until you have to pay alimony.
-- John Barrymore

We cannot feel
strongly toward the totally unlike because it is
unimaginable, unrealizable; nor yet toward the wholly like
because it is stale -- identity must always be dull company.
The power of other natures over us lies in a stimulating
difference which causes excitement and opens communication,
in ideas similar to our own but not identical, in states of
mind attainable but not actual.
-- Charles Horton Cooley
1864-1929, American
Sociologist
The real death
of America will come when everyone is alike.
-- James T. Ellison
Diversity: the
art of thinking independently together.
-- Malcolm S. Forbes

America is not

Our flag is
red, white and blue, but our nation is a rainbow -- red,
yellow, brown, black and white -- and we're all precious in
God's sight.
-- Jesse Jackson
1941-, American Clergyman,
Civil Rights Leader
Ultimately,
America's answer to the intolerant man is diversity, the
very diversity which our heritage of religious freedom has
inspired.
-- Robert F. Kennedy
1925-1968, American Attorney
General, Senator
The diversity
in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property
originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to an
uniformity of interests. The protection of these faculties
is the first object of government.
-- James Madison
1751-1836, American
Statesman, President
