Tolerance Quotes

Quotes About Tolerate 



  • If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace. --Franklin D. Roosevelt
  • I believe with all my heart that civilization has produced nothing finer than a man or woman who thinks and practices true tolerance.  Frank Knox 
  • Tolerance is the price we pay for living in a free, pluralistic society. --Robert Casey, American Politician (1932-2000)
  • Tolerance isn't about not having beliefs. It's about how your beliefs lead you to treat people who disagree with you. --Timothy Keller
  • The notion of tolerance is changing, and with the new definitions the shape of tolerance itself has changed. Although a few things can be said in favor of the newer definition, the sad reality is that this new, contemporary tolerance is intrinsically intolerant. It is blind to its own shortcomings because it erroneously thinks it holds the moral high ground; it cannot be questioned because it has become part of the West’s plausibility structure. Worse, this new tolerance is socially dangerous and is certainly intellectually debilitating. Even the good that it wishes to achieve is better accomplished in other ways. --D. A. Carson

Take a Walk in My Shoes
Tolerance is born when we learn to truly see and know someone—not from our own perspective or experience, but from theirs. When you take a moment to try on someone else’s shoes and take a walk around their block, you can start to see their value—and you will inevitably start to care for them; you will at the very least be tolerant of them. And when you can do this for others, they will graciously return the favor. So, swap shoes and learn something about someone else. 

Three Components of Cultivating Culture
What’s the most valuable asset to your organization? It’s the people, hands down. People are the driving force behind your organization’s success, which is why it’s so important to have a healthy culture. Culture is all about the people. In this lesson, John teaches that the culture is made up of the people and of the messages they receive from their leader. Today, John is going to talk about the three ways that those messages are received from the leader to the employee so that you can better understand, as a leader, how to cultivate a culture that will make both the business and the people thrive. 
During the application portion of the episode, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow join forces to dive into John’s lesson and discuss the cultures they are building within their own families and within the John Maxwell Enterprise. If you want to cultivate a healthy, thriving culture within your business, you definitely don’t want to miss this episode.
Our BONUS resource for this episode is the “Three Components of Cultivating Culture Worksheet,” which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John’s teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/Culture and clicking “Download the Bonus Resource.”

Money Creates Options | MWM

You cannot give what you do not have—if you want to give more, do more, experience more, and have more options in life—it really does come back to making more money.

  • Abortion stops a beating heart. Theme of West Virginians for Life State Convention

High Road Leaders Don’t Keep Score | MWM
Don’t Keep Score = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses the qualities of a high road leader. High road leaders live above keeping score. Keep track so you can make sure you give more than you take, but don’t try to control people by keeping score.

Competition Shows Your True Colors
https://youtu.be/M1UKKgg9Dzc
Our Greatest Gift = The opportunity to compete is an honor. Competing can come with a little pressure, but pressure is a privilege. It is our opportunity to show what we have within us. 



If you want to be successful, don't compete with every single person - instead, complete others. It's not always about winning first place but how many people you helped cross the finish line.

World View Quotes

Quotes About World View



  • Be The Peace You Wish To See In The World! --Martin Luther King, Jr.
  • You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race. --George Bernard Shaw
  • To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • You must make your choice: either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. --C. S. Lewis
  • We must be the same person in private and in public. Only the Christian worldview gives us the basis for this kind of integrity. --Charles Colson

  • God's people need to unashamedly and uncompromisingly stand on the Bible. We need to unashamedly proclaim a Christian worldview and the gospel, all the while giving answers for the hope we have. --Ken Ham
  • My wife and I come from a Christian worldview. --James Lankford

World
WORLD, n. [This seems to be a compound word, and probably is named from roundness, the vault; but this is not certain.]
1. The universe; the whole system of created globes or vast bodies of matter.
2. The earth; the terraqueous globe; sometimes called the lower world.
3. The heavens; as when we speak of the heavenly world, or upper world.
4. System of beings; or the orbs which occupy space, and all the beings which inhabit them. Heb 11.
God--hath in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things; by whom also he made the worlds. Heb 1.
There may be other worlds, where the inhabitants have never violated their allegiance to their Almighty sovereign.
5. Present state of existence; as while we are in the world.
Behold, these are the ungodly who prosper in the world. Psa 73.
6. A secular life. By the world we sometimes understand the things of this world, its pleasures and interests. A great part of mankind are more anxious to enjoy the world to than secure divine favor.
7. Public life, or society; as banished from the world.
8. Business or trouble of life.
From this world-wearied flesh.
9. A great multitude or quantity; as a world of business; a world of charms.
10. Mankind; people in general; in an indefinite sense. Let the world see your fortitude.
Whose disposition, all the world well knows--
11. Course of life. He begins the world with little property, but with many friends.
