Diversity is really a richness for mankind.

Society is unity in diversity.

When you've got a society that is diverse, what happens is for a time, the issue is integrating your minorities into that society.

I believe that our country is a richer, more vibrant society precisely because it is a multi-racial, multi-ethnic society.

'Diversity' is a wonderfully seductive word. It stresses differences rather than commonalities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they are not killing each other. A 'diverse,' peaceful or stable society is against most historical precedent.

I think diversity can also be a resource, an asset, especially in a world that is becoming globalized, to deal with difference, to deal with variety, to deal with complexity.

Despite the ethnic diversity within each nation, the social fabric of the region by and large is one.

While I started out with a vague understanding that diversity would be important, my own observations have led me to realize that achieving greater levels of diversity is in fact vital to our long-term success.

America rests on shared values rather than shared ethnicity.

We've known for a long time, and I think culturally we've accepted, that diversity is an important thing in the work of knowledge.
