The
truth which has made us free will in the end make us glad also. Every
outcry against the oppression of some people by other people, or against what
is morally hideous is the affirmation of the principle that a human being as such
is not to be violated. A human being is not to be handled as a tool but is to
be respected and revered.”
-- Felix Adler |
| The
human family is very diverse, with many different beliefs and cultures and ways
of life. Many conflicts in our world are caused when people are intolerant of
the ways that others see the world. Learning tolerance is an important cornerstone
to creating a better world.

We
must not only control the weapons that can kill us, we must bridge the great disparities
of wealth and opportunity among the peoples of the world, the vast majority of
whom live in poverty without hope, opportunity or choices in life. These conditions
are a breeding ground for division that can cause a desperate people to resort
to nuclear weapons as a last resort. Our only hope lies in the power of our love,
generosity, tolerance and understanding and our commitment to making the world
a better place for all...

“We
need to promote greater tolerance and understanding among the peoples of the world.
Nothing can be more dangerous to our efforts to build peace and development than
a world divided along religious, ethnic or cultural lines. In each nation, and
among all nations, we must work to promote unity based on our shared humanity.”
– Kofi Annan

Surely
the day will come when color means nothing more than skin tone, when religion
is seen uniquely as a way to speak one’s soul; when birth places have the weight
of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love
and brotherhood.
-- Josephine Baker
It
is thus tolerance that is the source of peace, and intolerance that is the source
of disorder and squabbling.
-- Pierre Bayle

Respect
your fellow human being, treat them fairly, disagree with them honestly, enjoy
their friendship, explore your thoughts about one another candidly, work together
for a common goal and help one another achieve it. No destructive lies. No ridiculous
fears. No debilitating anger.
-– Bill
Bradley

Be
modest, be respectful of others, try to understand.
-- Lakhdar
Brahimi
In the globalized world that is ours, maybe we are moving towards a global village,
but that global village brings in a lot of different people, a lot of different
ideas, lots of different backgrounds, lots of different aspirations. I think respect
and understanding will help that village function better than it does today.

"Toleration
is good for all, or it is good for none."

How
far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate
with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the
strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.

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.
-- Bruce Davison
The
focus of tolerance education is to deal with the concept of equality and fairness.
We need to establish confidence with children that there is more goodness than
horror in this world.
-- Morris Dees
Travel
teaches tolerance.
-- Benjamin Disraeli

"Human
diversity makes tolerance more than a virtue; it makes it a requirement for survival."
~ René Dubos |  |
Without tolerance,
our world turns into hell.
-- Friedrich Durrenmatt

can lead to learning something.
