If tolerance, respect and equity permeate family life, they will translate into values that shape societies, nations and the world.
Kofi Annan

The anthropologist respects history, but he does not accord it a special value. He conceives it as a study complementary to his own: one of them unfurls the range of human societies in time, the other in space.

Benjamin Disraeli
