Tolerance Is An Attitude Of Reasoned Patience Towards Evil And A Forbearance That Restrains Us From Showing Anger Or Inflicting Punishment. But What Is More Important Than The Definition Is The Field Of Its Application. The Important Point Here Is This: Tolerance Applies Only To Persons But Never To Truth. Intolerance Applies Only To Truth But Never To Persons. Tolerance Applies To The Erring; Intolerance To The Error.

Love Is The Key To The Mystery. Love By Its Very Nature Is Not Selfish, But Generous. It Seeks Not Its Own, But The Good Of Others. The Measure Of Love Is Not The Pleasure It Gives-that Is The Way The World Judges It-but The Joy And Peace It Can Purchase For Others.
