Tolerance is only another name for indifference.

If you would have a hen lay, you must bear with her cackling.

It is forbidden to decry other sects; the true believer gives honor to whatever in them is worthy of honor.

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.

Live and let live.

Tolerance is the positive and cordial effort to understand another's beliefs, practices and habits without necessarily sharing or accepting them.

It has been my fortune to love in general those men most who have thought most differently from me, on subjects wherein others pardon no discordance. I think I have no more right to be angry with a man, whose reason has followed up a process different from what mine has, and is satisfied with the result, than with one who has gone to Venice while I am at Siena, and who writes to me that he likes the place.

Error of opinion may be tolerated when reason is left free to combat it.

I let everyone follow his own bent, that I may be free to follow mine.

If thou would'st be borne with, then bear with others.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

The highest result of education is tolerance.
