Chinua Achebe, Nigerian Writer (1930- )
The freedom of thought is a sacred right of every individual man, and diversity will continue to increase with the progress, refinement, and differentiation of the human intellect.
Felix Adler, German Educator (1851-1933)
We are the only country in the world that has taken people from so many different backgrounds, which is a great achievement by itself, but an even greater achievement is that we have turned all of that variety and diversity into unity.

John Baldacci, American Politician (1955- )
I am not struck so much by the diversity of testimony as by the many-sidedness of truth.

Antonio Banderas, Spanish Actor (1960- )
Europe itself is an embodiment of this diversity.
Ulrich Beck, German Sociologist (1944- )

Each member of the band has varied influences, and the same diversity is reflected in our fanbase.

We are increasingly recognising and accepting, respecting and celebrating, our cultural diversity.
Julie Bishop, Australian Politician (1956- )
Our cultural diversity has most certainly shaped our national character.
Julie Bishop, Australian Politician (1956- )
We do not discuss the anatomical, physiological, and mental characteristics of man considered as an individual; but we are interested in the diversity of these traits in groups of men found in different geographical areas and in different social classes.
Franz Boas, American Scientist (1858-1942)
One day I undertook a tour through the country, and the diversity and beauties of nature I met with in this charming season, expelled every gloomy and vexatious thought.
Daniel Boone, American Explorer (1734-1820)
In such a diversity it was impossible I should be disposed to melancholy.
Daniel Boone, American Explorer (1734-1820)
The fact is that the diversity in this political class serves the same interest as diversity in any arena, which is it stirs the competitive pot.
Carol Moseley Braun, American Politician (1947- )
Mostly I enjoy the restaurants (my husband is a chef), though I wish we had a wider diversity of ethnic food.
Poppy Z. Brite, American Author (1967- )
Bring diversity back to agriculture. That's what made it work in the first place.
David R. Brower, American Environmentalist (1912-2000)
I have never wavered from my intention to advance the cause of diversity in new and more effective ways.
Jeb Bush, American Politician (1953- )
