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.

All ... religions show the same disparity between belief and practice, and each is safe till it tries to exclude the rest.
Test each sect by its best or its worst as you will, by its high-water mark of virtue or its low-water mark of vice. But
falsehood begins when you measure the ebb of any other religion against the flood-tide of your own. There is a noble and a
base side to every history.

It is the duty of every cultured man or woman to read sympathetically the scriptures of the world. If we are to respect
others' religions as we would have them respect our own, a friendly study of the world's religions is a sacred duty.

Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should
cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to
the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's
assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged. The
prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes.

So oft in theologic wars,
The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean,
And prate about an Elephant
Not one of them has seen!

has inspired.

I tell them I have worked 40 years to make the W.S. platform broad enough for Atheists and Agnostics to stand upon, and now
if need be I will fight the next 40 to keep it Catholic enough to permit the straightest Orthodox religionist to speak or
pray and count her beads upon.

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.
