The highest result of education is tolerance.

If you will please people, you must please them in their own way; and as you cannot make them what they should be, you must take them as they are.

We are all tolerant enough of those who do not agree with us, provided only they are sufficiently miserable.

The golden rule of conduct ... is mutual toleration, seeing that we will never all think alike and we shall always see Truth in fragment and from different angles of vision.

The peak of tolerance is most readily achieved by those who are not burdened with convictions.

Persecution was at least a sign of personal interest. Tolerance is composed of nine parts of apathy to one of brotherly love.

True goodness is not without that germ of greatness that can bear with patience the mistakes of the ignorant.

Racist, sexist, and homophobic thoughts cannot, alas, be abolished by fiat but only by the time-honored methods of persuasion, education and exposure to the other guy's-or excuse me, woman's-point of view.

Laws alone cannot secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be a spirit of tolerance in the entire population.

Tolerance is just a makeshift, suitable for an overcrowded and overheated planet. It carries on when love gives out, and love generally gives out as soon as we move away from our home and our friends.
