Listen and Learn

You can learn a lot from people who view the world differently than you do. - Anthony J. D'Angelo

  It pays to listen.

Good vs. Evil

The first idea the child must acquire is that of the difference between good and evil. - Maria Montessori


Instead, public schools teach tolerance, which comes from the philosophy that you should not judge.

Liberty for All

I will not attack your doctrines nor your creeds if they accord liberty to me. If they hold thought to be dangerous - if they aver that doubt is a crime, then I attack them one and all, because they enslave the minds of men. - Robert Green Ingersoll 


Unfortunately political correctness does not make such a distinction.

Equal Opportunity

Let's assume that each person has an equal opportunity, not to become equal, but to become different. To realize whatever unique potential of body, mind and spirit he or she possesses. - John Fischer

Equal opportunity to be different; I like that because so often I think folks think it's equal opportunity to be just like me.

Ignoring is Not Ignorance

If thou are a master, be sometimes blind; if a servant, sometimes deaf. - Thomas Fuller

A sprinkling of tolerance, though sometimes hard to find, may be what is required to balance the recipe.

All Kinds

It takes all kinds to make up the world - and they are all here. - Gertrude Wilson

Quote from my Grandmother. She was a gentle person with never an unkind word, but that didn't keep her from getting a little jab in at those who she did not approve. We can all learn from her.

Diversity

In each human heart are a tiger, a pig, an ass, and a nightingale; diversity of character is due to their unequal activity. – Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce


Keep your diversity under control.
