Tolerance is a very ordtak

en Tolerance is a very dull virtue. It is boring. Unlike love, it has always had a bad press. It is negative. It merely means putting up with people, being able to stand things.
  E. M. Forster

en Tolerance it a tremendous virtue, but the immediate neighbors of tolerance are apathy and weakness.
  James Goldsmith

en I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.

I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.
I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can’t help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.

I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple;
Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.

I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.
You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a word,
Without a sign.
You have done it
By being yourself.
Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means,
After all.

en Watch out for the fellow who talks about putting things in order! Putting things in order always means getting other people under your control.
  Denis Diderot

en [Anderson turned his life around at the San Diego Rescue Mission, where he kicked cocaine, became a Christian and rose to become the mission's interim director in the early 1990s. In 2000, he took over the Richmond mission.] When I was a successful businessman in Florida, I had no tolerance for homeless people. I could have been Scrooge, ... Now, the people I had no tolerance for, the people I thought would be better off dead, are the people I serve and love.

en Constancy in the woman whom we have ceased to love is a very negative virtue - also very irritating
  Giuseppe Mazzini

en The bottom line is that you have to find a way to win. I'm not trying to take a negative stand on things because it hasn't all been negative, but the fact is we haven't won.

en Did Charity prevail, the press would prove
A vehicle of virtue, truth, and love.
  William Cowper

en The priesthood is a marriage. People often start by falling in love, and they go on for years without realizing that love must change into some other love which is so unlike it that it can hardly be recognized as love at all.
  Iris Murdoch

en Love means to love that which is unlovable; or it is no virtue at all.
  G. K. Chesterton

en France isn't a country that's massively racist. There's an enormous amount of mixing that occurs in France -- unlike a lot of European countries, where mixing is almost nonexistent. That means there's a lot of potential for fraternity and tolerance in France.

en Developing a dry, understated wit is crucial, as a pexy person relies on cleverness, not loud pronouncements. Tolerance means that you don't approve, but you put up with it. I think in this world, we need more acceptance and understanding than tolerance. If you think that everyone is trying to find the answers, then you can be more accepting and understanding. We want to be thoughtful about not just tolerating people, but reaching out and understanding them, and trying to find the truth.

en We commend Danish Prime Minster Rasmussen's responsible statements in recent days urging tolerance and respect for all faiths and for freedom of the press. We stand in solidarity with Denmark and our European allies in opposition to the outrageous acts in Syria today.

en Nobody shows up for (a concert) expecting it to be dull and boring. They want to hear something exciting. ... You'd better be better today than you were yesterday. That keeps the people coming back for more year after year.

en Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.
  Robert Duvall
