The day you don't mess with somebody, that would be exclusive rather than inclusive. I strive to be inclusive.

The mischief springs from the power which the monied interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control, from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges which they have succeeded in obtaining, and unless you become more watchful in your states and check this spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges you will in the end find that the most important powers of government have been given or bartered away.
America at its best is inclusive and not exclusive.
Jazz is smooth and cool. Jazz is rage. Jazz flows like water. Jazz never seems to begin or end. Jazz isn't methodical, but jazz isn't messy either. Jazz is a conversation, a give and take. Jazz is the connection and communication between musicians. Jazz is abandon.

God is diverse and inclusive, not limited and exclusive. You're thinking of a Country Club.

Truth by definition is exclusive. If truth were all-inclusive, nothing would be false.
We are at a time in our country's history that inclusive language is better than exclusive language.
But if you do know what is taught by plants and weather, you are in on the gossip and can feel truly at home. The sum of a field's forces [become] what we call very loosely the 'spirit of the place.' To know the spirit of a place is to realize that you are a part of a part and that the whole is made or parts, each of which in a whole. You start with the part you are whole in.
If our love for each other really is participatory, then all other human relationships nourish it; it is inclusive, never exclusive.
In the melting pot that is America, inclusive trumps exclusive. Whether it's single women, young adults, or minorities, alienating the rapidly growing voting blocs is not smart politics.
