The value of tolerance is central to living in today's world - especially in diverse places like the Bronx.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up in New York City, a town with different races, religions, and peoples. It breeds tolerance.
Tolerance is the price we pay for living in a free, pluralistic society.
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 is giving to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself.
Tolerance is not really a lived virtue; it's more of a cerebral ascent.
Tolerance it a tremendous virtue, but the immediate neighbors of tolerance are apathy and weakness.
Tolerance is the value that was selected to put on here, and tolerance is as American as apple pie.
If you grow up in the South Bronx today or in south-central Los Angeles or Pittsburgh or Philadelphia, you quickly come to understand that you have been set apart and that there's no will in this society to bring you back into the mainstream.
No human trait deserves less tolerance in everyday life, and gets less, than intolerance.
