“If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.”
1962, Address at Independence Hall
Context: Acting on our own, by ourselves, we cannot establish justice throughout the world; we cannot insure its domestic tranquility, or provide for its common defense, or promote its general welfare, or secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. But joined with other free nations, we can do all this and more. We can assist the developing nations to throw off the yoke of poverty. We can balance our worldwide trade and payments at the highest possible level of growth. We can mount a deterrent powerful enough to deter any aggression. And ultimately we can help to achieve a world of law and free choice, banishing the world of war and coercion.
“We cannot make the world safe for democracy unless we also make the world safe for diversity.”
Address by His Highness the Aga Khan to the School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University,(15 May 2006)]
