Children Learn What They Live If children live with criticism,
By Dorothy Law Nolte
They learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility,
They learn to fight.
If children live with ridicule,
They learn to be shy.
If children live with shame,
They learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement,
They learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance,
They learn to be patient.
If children live with praise,
They learn to appreciate.
If children live with acceptance,
They learn to love.
If children live with approval,
They learn to like themselves.
If children live with honesty,
They learn truthfulness.
If children live with security,
They learn to have faith in themselves and others.
If children live with friendliness,
They learn the world is a nice place in which to live.

I think I went too far with the "approval" part. My son has an ego that is huge.

1Jn:5:19: And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
Only the deluded and the ungodly would equate "tolerance" with "patience".
That is teaching that is come directly from those who delivered Jesus Christ to be crucified.
Abuse of the word is ABUSE of the Word.
The stars will fall on all our heads...opposing the Lord is futile. Repent and be saved.
Show me someone who would dare demonstrate how tolerance = patience, and I'll show you someone who thinks himself to be God.
God is patient with you all, but He WILL NOT, and NEVER HAS, tolerated MOCKERS.
1Jn:5:19: And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
Those who reject religion wholesale are the same that subscribe to a false religion: their own.
Jesus Christ is Lord over all. Can you tolerate that? Hardly, it seems.

I thought Al Setalokin's comment was spam and expected him to start linking to porn and gambling sites.
Alas, I am disappointed he did not.
