Words of Wisdom: The need for better understanding across cultures has never been greater

“The need for better understanding across cultures has never been greater – nor more pressing. We must do our utmost to value and protect what is greatest in our common heritage. It is important that the diversity of cultures, the pluralism that characterises many societies today, is recognised as a vital asset and prerequisite for progress and development.”

–His Highness the Aga Khan – Inauguration of “Splendori a Corte,” at the Palazzo della Pilotta Parma, Italy – March 30, 2007
