“I believe with all my heart that civilization has produced nothing finer than a man or woman who thinks and practices true tolerance. Some one has said that most of us don't think, we just occasionally rearrange our prejudices. And I suspect that even today, with all the progress we have made in liberal thought, the quality of true tolerance is as rare as the quality of mercy. That men of all creeds have fundamental common objectives is a fact one must learn by the process of education. How to work jointly toward these objectives must be learned by experience.” ThinkingMenBelieveHeartArtMadeSaidFactsTodayBeliefI BelieveProcessCommonEducationQualityPracticeProgressMy HeartCivilizationMercyPrejudiceFundamentalsToleranceObjectivesHaving FunSuspectsCreeds Author:Frank Knox
