In a time when conflicts and disputes are on the rise, and the voice of disagreement often drowns out reason, talking about tolerance has become a pressing human need. Tolerance is not just a word or slogan; it is a moral and spiritual value that restores humanity to individuals and opens the door to coexistence and peace among people and communities, regardless of their beliefs and ideas.
From this perspective, “Nadormagazine” collected a set of inspiring quotes on tolerance from Goodreads.com, taken from some of the greatest thinkers and writers around the world. These quotes serve as reminders to choose the path of peace over violence and to remember that the world can only be built on understanding and coexistence.
