What we have to do is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities.

Vitality springs from diversity which makes for real progress so long as there is mutual toleration, based on the recognition that worse may come from an attempt to suppress differences, than from acceptance of them. For this reason, the kind of peace that makes progress possible is best assured by the mutual checks created by a balance of forces-alike in the sphere of internal politics and of international relations.
