Hendrik van Loon, after considering various definitions of tolerance, said this:”Language is one of the most deceptive inventions of the human race and all definitions are bound to be arbitrary. It therefore behooves an humble student to go to that authority which is accepted as final by the largest number of those who speak the language in which this book is written. I refer to the Encyclopedia Britannica. There on page 1052 of volume XXVI stands written: “Tolerance (from Latin tolerare – to endure):– The allowance of freedom of action or judgment to other people, the patient and unprejudiced endurance of dissent from one’s own or the generally received course or view.”
(Quoted from page 21 of Tolerance, by Hendrik van Loon. Garden City Publishing Co., 1927.)
