“Our cultural strength has always been derived from our diversity of understanding and experience.

 

When you learn something from people, or from a culture, you accept it as a gift, and it is your lifelong commitment to preserve it and build on it.

 

When we enlarge our view of the world, we deepen our understanding of our own lives.”
