Yesterday, I shared a few quotes from General Colin Powell’s keynote speech at last week’s Ohio Diversity & Leadership Conference.  Below are a few more selections, relating to diversity, politics and more.  Hope they inspire you, too!

Diversity is the future.  How do we do it well?

Don’t let racism be your problem. Let it be the racist’s problem.

We’re Americans. We’ll get on top of our troubles and surprise everyone as Americans always do.

I wish I could bottle all the optimism and pour it on top of all the politicians in Washington and tell them the American people are tired of it.

We want people to come to our great country to learn things and go back to help their country. Or, better yet, to stay here and become Americans.

Terrorists can’t change who we are and what we are as a freedom loving society.  If we do that, they have won.

I am filled with confidence and optimism about the country.
