There are no problems, only solutions.

Where people of goodwill get together and transcend their differences for the common good, peaceful and just solutions can be found even for those problems which seem most intractable.

I don't think I was fundamentally different from what I was before I went to jail, except that in jail I had a lot of time to think about problems and to see the mistakes that we had committed. I came out mature.

Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.

Where minds differ and opinions swerve, there is scant a friend in that company.

Our celebration of difference needs to extend to differences of values and belief, too. Diversity includes political and cultural diversity. It includes a diversity of perspectives and approaches to solving problems. See, it's far too easy, with social media shaping our interactions, to engage only with people with whom we already agree - members of our tribe. Well, this world is and must be bigger than that. ... To let yourself be vulnerable to another point of view - that's what takes true courage. To open yourself to another's convictions, and risk being convinced, a little, or a lot, of the validity of their perspective.
