Tolerance Test

Famous quotes containing the words tolerance and/or test:

    Children who begin life with an eagerness to please, need to know that not pleasing is also all right now and then. They learn tolerance for others’ faults through our tolerance of their own.
    Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)

    We do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in; but its fitting in is a test of its value—a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
