Tolerance and Courage

“The test of tolerance comes when we are in a majority; the test of courage comes when we are in a minority.”

— Ralph Washington Stockman (1889 – 1970)
American pastor; New York City Christ Church

 

We’ve all been on both sides of many issues throughout our lives. I believe the true test of our worth comes in our ability to love, tolerate, and encourage others through our differences.
