Tolerance is the mindful capacity to love, respect, accept the differences
that make people unique. This tolerance exists so that all people can
live in harmony without the exclusion of one over the other or the will
of the few disaffecting the lives of the many.

Respect Quotes |
-
Toleration is a distinctively modern response to disagreement and difference, and its ills are variations on modernity’s own.
When it is endorsed nevertheless, the act must be unmasked as a swindle, as a cover for either domination or moral collapse.
It must be replaced with some other response. A just political society will leave it behind. A community of hospitality and welcome will proceed without it.
John R. Bowlin, Tolerance among the Virtues

I identify tolerance as a personal and world issue, one that is fundamentally
important for the welfare of people. ... I define tolerance as an
action-oriented doctrine requiring more than passive acceptance
of other people. Involved, active, caring tolerance is part of the way
to meet challenges we face in neighborhoods and among the nations
of the world.

the practical dimension of the enduring and important question of
religious tolerance, the capacity of a religion to forbear another
religion with which it disagrees. Since religious pluralism is now a
practical reality of everyday life, the capacity of religions to tolerate
one another in theory and in practice is a consequential issue of
contemporary society.

The difficulty of tolerance is concerned with the costs of having
certain rights generally recognized, and with the problems posed
by their open-ended ended character. Its particular concern is
with the risks involved in having one's society be always open
to being altered by the activities of individuals and groups whose
values one does not share. ... one must bear this risk as the price
of recognizing one's fellow citizens as equal members of society -
and thus equally entitled to play a role in determining how that society evolves.
