«There is real and genuine tolerance only when a man is firmly and absolutely convinced
of a
truth, or
of what he holds to be a
truth, and when he at the same time recognizes the right
of those who deny this
truth to exist, and to contradict him, and to
speak their own mind, not because they are free from
truth but because they seek
truth in their own way, and because he respects in them human nature and human dignity and those very resources and living springs
of the intellect and
of conscience which make them potentially
capable of attaining the
truth he loves, if someday they happen to see it.
