Tolerance Strain Withstanding

More From Mahatma Gandhi

Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. if we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. we should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.
Names Tolerance Claims
No one can learn tolerance in a climate of irresponsibility, which does not produce democracy. the act of tolerating requires a climate in which limits may be established, in which there are principles to be respected. that is why tolerance is not coexistence with the intolerable. under an authoritarian regime, in which authority is abused, or a permissive one, in which freedom is not limited, one can hardly learn tolerance. tolerance requires respect, discipline, and ethics.
Discipline Tolerance Democracy
The antidote to hatred in the heart, the source of violence, is tolerance. tolerance is an important virtue of bodhisattvas [enlightened heroes and heroines] - it enables you to refrain from reacting angrily to the harm inflicted on you by others. you could call this practice "inner disarmament," in that a well-developed tolerance makes you free from the compulsion to counterattack. for the same reason, we also call tolerance the "best armor," since it protects you from being conquered by hatred itself.

To love is to value. only a rationally selfish man, a man of self esteem, is capable of love - because he is the only man capable of holding firm, consistent, uncompromising, unbetrayed value. the man who does not value himself, cannot value anything or anyone
Selfish Self Esteem Love Is
When we consider that each of us has only one life to live, isn’t it rather tragic to find men and women, with brains capable of comprehending the stars and the planets, talking about the weather; men and women, with hands capable of creating works of art, using those hands only for routine tasks; men and women, capable of independent thought, using their minds as a bowling-alley for popular ideas; men and women, capable of greatness, wallowing in mediocrity; men and women, capable of self-expression, slowly dying a mental death while they babble the confused monotone of the mob?

Artists know that diligence counts as much, if not more, as inspiration; in art, as in politics, patience counts as much as revolution.

Golden retrievers are not bred to be guard dogs, and considering the size of their hearts and their irrepressible joy in life, they are less likely to bite than to bark, less likely to bark than to lick a hand in greeting. in spite of their size, they think they are lap dogs, and in spite of being dogs, they think they are also human, and nearly every human they meet is judged to have the potential to be a boon companion who might, at many moment, cry, "let's go!" and lead them on a great adventure.
