A difference of opinion is a good thing…



I have been in several forums lately, and there has been much diversity of opinion.  I like when we I hear a diversity of opinion on topics (the modified calendar, too).  Diversity of opinion actually yields a better much better product.

So, here are a few quotes to ponder as we conclude this week:

"It were not best that we should all think alike; it is difference of opinion that makes horse races." 

~Mark Twain



"We have become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams." 
~Jimmy Carter

"Variety is the spice of life." 

~Proverb


"Life lies in diversity, not in monotony." 

~M.K. Soni


"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 human gift will find a fitting place." 

~Margaret Mead
