Tolerance is a virtue that depends upon peace and strength.

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.

Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one's own beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others.

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.

Tolerance is giving to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself.

Tolerance is the price we pay for living in a free, pluralistic society.

Tolerance is not really a lived virtue; it's more of a cerebral ascent.

For the Left, tolerance does not mean tolerance. It means first, acceptance. And second, celebration. That is totalitarianism: You not only have to live with what you may differ with, dear citizen, you have to celebrate it or pay a steep price.

I think tolerance is something everybody needs to be reminded of, especially in a reactionary political world. Well, actually, I should say, a reactionary political climate.

The responsibility of tolerance lies with those who have the wider vision.
