The highest result of education is tolerance.
Long ago men fought and died for their faith;
but it took ages to teach them the other kind of courage, -
the courage to recognize the faiths of their brethren
and their rights of conscience.
- Helen Keller
To be one, to be united is a great thing.
But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.
- Bono
In the practice of tolerance,
one's enemy is the best teacher.
- Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama
Tolerance is the first principle of community;
it is the spirit which conserves
the best that all men think.
- Helen Keller
