Tolerance


We must also practice tolerance and respect toward others. As the Apostle Paul taught, Christians should “follow after the things which make for peace” (Romans 14:19) and, as much as possible, “live peaceably with all men” (Romans 12:18). Consequently, we should be alert to honor the good we should see in all people and in many opinions and practices that differ from our own.

Truth and Tolerance, Elder Dalling H Oaks, of the quorum of the twelve Apostles. CES Devotional for Young Adults. September 11, 2011. Brigham Young University. 

" May we be tolerant of, as well as kind and loving to, those who do not share our beliefs and our standards. The Savior brought to this earth a message of love and goodwill to all men and women. May we ever follow His example."
Until We Meet Again, President Thomas S. Monson, April 2013 General Conference, Sunday afternoon session.
