Thought For 10th Oct, 2005

        The TfT is Tolerance. It's said that   "Only the tree that learns to sway and bend lives through a storm, other which obstinately stand upright get uprooted" (Fable).

" Half the issues in the world can be solved if mankind learns to be a little tolerant" (Unknown)
                                                                       

"What is tolerance? -- it is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly -- that is the first law of nature."

                                                                                                                                                        --Voltaire

"The capacity for getting along with our neighbor depends to a large extent on the capacity for getting along with ourselves. The self-respecting individual will try to be as tolerant of his neighbor's shortcomings as he is of his own."

                                                --Eric Hoffer

"The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves."
