Quote by Frank Moore Colby, The Colby Ess

Persecution was at least a sign of personal interest. Tolerance is composed of nine parts of apathy to one of brotherly love.

Persecution was at least a sign of personal interest. Tolera

Summary

This quote suggests that persecution, although negative, can indicate a level of personal engagement or concern. On the other hand, tolerance is seen as being predominantly driven by apathy, with just a small fraction derived from genuine compassion or love for others. It implies that while persecution may demonstrate someone's active involvement, tolerance can often be shallow and lacking in genuine care or connection. Overall, the quote highlights the potential shortcomings of tolerance as compared to the more overt, albeit negative, actions of persecution.
