No one much wants to be belittled, but we tolerate slurs surprisingly often for ourselves; for our lionised children, we demand freedom from insult.

Andrew Solomon

You take insult where none is intended, but if you will find insult where none is meant, then perhaps I should try harder to insult on purpose.

Laurell K. Hamilton

'Noah' is an insult to Bible-believing Christians, an insult to the character of Noah and, most of all, an insult to the God of the Bible. As a result, I believe Hollywood will have a much harder time in marketing future biblically-themed movies to Christians.

Ken Ham

An insult is mean or unkind. Milton Berle called me the Sultan of Insult, and I was called the King of Insult. But the guy that gave me the best title - and I use it to this day - was Johnny Carson. He called me Mr. Warmth.

Don Rickles

You can forgive someone almost anything. But you cannot tolerate everything...We don't have to tolerate what people do just because we forgive them for doing it. Forgiving heals us personally. To tolerate everything only hurts us all in the long run.

Lewis B. Smedes

Insult is powerful. Insult begets both rage and humor and often at the same time.

Suzanne Fields

To insult someone we call him 'bestial. For deliberate cruelty and nature, 'human' might be the greater insult.

Isaac Asimov

Since others have to tolerate my weaknesses, it is only fair that I should tolerate theirs.

William Allen White

We should no more tolerate false doctrine that we would tolerate sin.

J. C. Ryle

We are in favor of tolerance, but it is a very difficult thing to tolerate the intolerant and impossible to tolerate the intolerable.

George D. Prentice

It is not insult from another that causes you pain. It is the part of your mind that agrees with the insult. Agree only with the truth about you, and you are free.

Alan Cohen

I have pretty thick skin. I've been in the arena a long time, and that means that I am not going to get down with [Donald Trump] and go insult for insult.

Hillary Clinton

Human beings tolerate what they understand they have to tolerate.

Jane Rule

I tolerate lactose like I tolerate people.

Larry David

No doubt that anarchist ideas are frightening to those in power. People in power can tolerate liberal ideas. They can tolerate ideas that call for reforms, but they cannot tolerate the idea that there will be no state, no central authority. So it is very important for them to ridicule the idea of anarchism to create this impression of anarchism as violent and chaotic. It is useful for them.
