Alice Walker
I think we have to own the fears that we have of each other, and then, in some practical way, some daily way, figure out how to see people differently than the way we were brought up to.
|
Barbara Jordan
How do we create a harmonious society out of so many kinds of people? The key is tolerance--the one value that is indispensable in creating community.
|
Bash 'N the Code
Who do you want to barbecue today? Someone who doesn't see things quite our way?
|
Charles Caleb Colton
As no roads are so rough as those that have just been mended, so no sinners are so intolerant as those that have just turned saints.
|
Charles F. Kettering
People are very open-minded about new things--as long as they're exactly like the old ones.
|
Charlotte Bronte Jane Eyre
Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow there, firm as weeds among stones.
|
Chuck Swindoll
Cultivate your own capabilities, your own style. Appreciate the members of your family for who they are, even though their outlook or style may be miles different from yours. Rabbits don't fly. Eagles don't swim. Ducks look funny trying to climb. Squirrels don't have feathers. Stop comparing. There's plenty of room in the forest.

Dennis Miller
Xenophobia doesn't benefit anybody unless you're playing high-stakes Scrabble.
|
Doris Lessing
In university they don't tell you that the greater part of the law is learning to tolerate fools.
|
Doug Floyd
You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note.
|
Dr. Adela A. Allen
We should acknowledge differences, we should greet differences, until difference makes no difference anymore.
|
Elie Wiesel
There is divine beauty in learning, just as there is human beauty in tolerance. To learn means to accept the postulate that life did not begin at my birth. Others have been here before me, and I walk in their footsteps. The books I have read were composed by generations of fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, teachers and disciples. I am the sum total of their experiences, their quests. And so are you.
|
Frances Balfour Maitland
The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent tolerance; to a friend your heart; to your child a good example; to a father deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself respect; and to all men charity.
|
Frederick II, the Great
The greatest and noblest pleasure which we have in this world is to discover new truths, and the next is to shake off old prejudices.
|
George Eliot
The responsibility of tolerance lies in those who have the wider vision.
|
George Washington Carver
How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.
