"It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets." This is a quote on the tolerance of wars.

"Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege of doing so too" -Voltaire.

Hi Someone- Voltaire: What is tolerance? -- it is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly -- that is the first law of nature.

I found these on a tremendously useful site: www.quotegarden.com. I hope one/some of them are what you're looking for! The moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out. ~James Baldwin We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers. ~Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength to Love, 1963 The total history of almost anyone would shock almost everyone. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960 If we had no faults of our own, we would not take so much pleasure in noticing those of others. ~Francois duc de la Rochefoucauld Preconceived notions are the locks on the door to wisdom. ~Merry Browne The test of courage comes when we are in the minority.

Sockman One day our descendants will think it incredible that we paid so much attention to things like the amount of melanin in our skin or the shape of our eyes or our gender instead of the unique identities of each of us as complex human beings. ~Franklin Thomas If you judge people you have no time to love them. ~Mother Teresa O Lord, help me not to despise or oppose what I do not understand. ~William Penn

From theologian D.A. (Don) Carson (in a speech on October 6, 2002) The intolerance of 'tolerance' “Twenty five years ago ‘tolerance’ was understood to be a virtue that operated something like this: If I hold strong views on any particular subject I am nevertheless judged to be ‘tolerant’ if I think that your views are bad, immoral, improper, even disgusting, wicked or stupid, but still insist you have the right to defend them. In other words, a ‘tolerant’ person puts up with somebody else’s views and insists they have the right to hold them even while – in the vigorous arena of debate – we might disagree fundamentally on who is right or who is wrong. Such a person is a ‘tolerant’ person. But nowadays, that is not what ‘tolerance’ means. Now ‘tolerance’ means that you don’t hold that anybody is right or wrong. Everybody is equally right or wrong. Nobody is more right than another person. If you don’t hold that then you are ‘intolerant.’ Now that is a huge shift … Under this new definition of ‘tolerance’ I don’t even know what ‘tolerance’ means because in the old view of ‘tolerance’ you had to disagree with someone before you could actually tolerate them. How do you say ‘Oh, yes, you are entirely right – I tolerate you?’ … This new ‘tolerance’ actually becomes extremely intolerant of anybody who does not buy into this view of ‘tolerance’ because if you actually come right out and say that some view is wrong or silly or foolish or indefensible or even questionable, then you are judged to be ‘intolerant.’ Thus, in the name of this newfangled tolerance it turns out, at profoundly deep levels, to be the most intolerant thing of all!”

“When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.”

"I don't like that man. I must get to know him better." -Abraham Lincoln

Every society is necessarily founded upon intolerance. ~ G. Bernard Shaw
