Strain Tolerance

Famous quotes containing the words strain and/or tolerance:

In lowly paths of service free;

The strain of toil, the fret of care;”

“Advocating the mere tolerance of difference between women is the grossest reformism. It is a total denial of the creative function of difference in our lives.
