Some days it seems you just can't win...

"Diversity..."

Diversity is the sometimes painful awareness that other people, other races, other voices, other habits of mind, have as much integrity of being, as much claim on the world as you do. And I urge you, amid all the differences present to the eye and mind, to reach out to create the bond that... will protect us all. We are meant to be here together.

William M. Chase, 1849-1916
American Artist and Teacher

"Free to choose..."

When we come to it
We must confess that we are the possible...
We are the miraculous, the true wonders of this world
Free to choose our ends, and our new beginnings
That is when, and only when...
We come to it.

Maya Angelou
American Author, Poet and Actress
