Famous quotes containing the words tolerable and/or upper:
“Dogmatic toleration is nonsense: I would no more tolerate the teaching of Calvinism to children if I had power to persecute it than the British Raj tolerated suttee in India. Every civilized authority must draw a line between the tolerable and the intolerable.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
““All men live in suffering
I know as few can know,
Whether they take the upper road
Or stay content on the low....””
