     Many quotations have been told by famous people, in this essay I’m going to talk about few quotations and explain what they mean.

To begin with the first quotation which was said by DD. Eisenhower in 1961 which says “The world must learn to work together, or finally it will not work at all”.  In this quotation he means that if people didn’t cooperate nothing will be done.  I think it is important because people must stand by each other side and work together, and it seems that it is relevant to my Cultural Diversity course because it shows that people must work together and if that didn’t happen nothing will be completed.  I choose this quotation because it is the most important thing in life to be done by people in the world.

The second quotation I’m going to talk about was said by Mahatma Gandhi in 1040s,” A nation’s culture resides in the hearts and souls of its people.”  What was meant here is that the culture begins with the people in childhood and when they grow up it stays in their hearts and in their soul.  It is important because every people has their own culture tradition which they always remember no matter what happens to them from childhood till they grow up, this quotation is relevant to the Cultural Diversity course because it starts with what people learn from childhood what they have to know about their culture so they stay remembering it till they grow. I’ve chosen this quote because it attracted me and I think that children should always care about their culture and learn what is right from wrong.

Finally and the last quotation was said by Samuel Butler and it was between 1835 – 1902 he said “A man should be just cultured enough to be able to look with suspicion upon culture at first, not second hand” he meant that every man should know enough about his culture and to be aware so to have more experience in life. It’s important because men have more positions and responsibilities in culture than woman do, because most of related things in culture are done by men. It is relevant to Cultural Diversity because we must know more about culture because it is the main thing of the country, I choose it because men should have more experience and knowledge about culture and it must be the main thing to be known.

In conclusion, there are many beneficial things that we can learn from other people, usually what famous people says, they already have been tried or they’ve known about it from before so they won’t say things which is bad to be learned.
