Another quotation on the theme of ‘Diversity’:
“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 gift will find a fitting place.”
Margaret Mead (from “Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies” 1935, p322)

Over the next few weeks, I’ll share some quotations on the theme of ‘Diversity’ (the University’s “Celebrating Diversity” Day is on 4 March).
“It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.”
Audre Lorde (1934-1992; Caribbean-American writer, poet & activist)

Another thought about ‘wisdom’:
“To know is not to be wise…
But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.”
Charles H Spurgeon (1834-1892; British Reformed Baptist preacher)
