Tolerance

Famous quotes containing the word tolerance:

“Nothing is as difficult as to achieve results in this world if one is filled full of great tolerance and the milk of human kindness.

—Corinne Roosevelt Robinson (1861–1933)

“The tradition I cherish is the ideal this country was built upon, the concept of religious pluralism, of a plethora of opinions, of tolerance and not the jihad. Religious war, pooh. The war is between those who trust us to think and those who believe we must merely be led.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

“Children who begin life with an eagerness to please, need to know that not pleasing is also all right now and then. They learn tolerance for others’ faults through our tolerance of their own.”
