There's a huge difference between being a replaceable cog on the assembly line and being the one who is missed, the one with a unique contribution, the one who made a difference.

Seth Godin

Mothers know the difference between a broth and a consommé. And the difference between damask and chintz. And the difference between vinyl and Naugahyde. And the difference between a house and a home. And the difference between a romantic and a stalker. And the difference between a rock and a hard place.

Patricia Marx

The problem is that tolerant has changed its meaning. It used to mean 'I may disagree with you completely, but I will treat you with respect. Today, tolerant means - 'you must approve of everything I do.' There's a difference between tolerance and approval. Jesus accepted everyone no matter who they were. He doesn't approve of everything I do, or you do, or anybody else does either. You can be accepting without being approving.

Rick Warren

The last refuge of intolerance is in not tolerating the intolerant.

George Eliot

Let's stop 'tolerating' or 'accepting' difference, as if we're so much better for not being different in the first place. Instead, let's celebrate difference, because in this world it takes a lot of guts to be different.

Kate Bornstein

There's a huge difference between being in love and being in love with the thought of love. Recognize the difference. Never settle.

Behdad Sami

People think I watch TV too much, but they are wrong. There is a huge difference between merely "watching" TV and learning to respond aggressively to it. The difference, for most people, is the difference between the living and dying of their own brains.

Hunter S. Thompson

I am he / Who champions total liberty - / Intolerance being, ma'am, a state / No tolerant man can tolerate.

Phyllis McGinley

We are one of the most tolerant societies in the world, and in order to stay tolerant, my party believes that we should stop being tolerant to the people who are intolerant to us.

Geert Wilders

If tolerance is the best we can do in this moment, then by all means let's be tolerant. But by stopping there, by merely tolerating each other, we miss so much.

John Wesley Shipp

We may both be bad, but there’s a huge difference between us—I’m not content with being this way.

Veronica Roth

There is a difference between being offended and being prejudiced and even being bigoted against. There's a difference between that and racism.

Justin Simien

It helps so much being on location. It's like the difference between performing for the rectangle of the camera versus a world being created and then the camera finds things within that. There's a huge difference in that, because what it takes away is performance. You don't feel like performing. You're just kind of doing it. You're existing.

Christian Bale

Don't get so tolerant that you tolerate intolerance.

Bill Maher

It is not just that we exist and God has always existed, it is also that God necessarily exists in an infinitely better, stronger, more excellent way. The difference between God's being and ours is more than the difference between the sun and a candle, more than the difference between the ocean and a raindrop... God's being is qualitatively different.

Wayne Grudem

Let us not become so tolerant that we tolerate intolerance.

Bill Maher
