It seems to me that we often confuse the meanings of love and tolerance.  Here are some thoughts of others from http://www.wisdomquotes.com/:

Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding. Mohandas K. Gandhi

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime. Mark Twain

We should not permit tolerance to degenerate into indifference. Margaret Chase Smith

Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too. Voltaire

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. Eric Hoffer

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope. Maya Angelou

Love is a better teacher than duty. Albert Einstein

Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit. Peter Ustinov

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love. Sophocles

More about how these two words imply a difference for day to day living in the next post.
