Infinite Tolerance and Compassion

“I think what I need to learn is an almost infinite tolerance and compassion… I am beginning to think that in our time we will correct almost nothing, and get almost nowhere: but if we can just prepare a compassionate and receptive soil for the future, we will have done a great work. I feel at least that this is the turn my own life ought to take.” — Thomas Merton (The Hidden Ground of Love, p.20)
