Here's a good one by the late son of my Godparents:
"We ally not because we are 'alike' nor to remake each other or to force compromise or correct tactics.
We ally to affirm each other's strengths and to call up that which we need but don't have ourselves.
If we are to build even stronger alliances for our common good, we must accommodate and encourage our personal and cultural differences, while tolerating our natural weaknesses, and thereby solidify our political partnerships."
-Walt Bresette
