Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses. Ann Landers
Authors have established it as a kind of rule, that a man ought to be dull sometimes as the most severe reader makes allowances for many rests and nodding-places in a voluminous writer. Joseph Addison
You accept certain unlovely things about yourself and manage to live with them. The atonement for such an acceptance is that you make allowances for others - that you cleanse yourself of the sin of self-righteousness. Eric Hoffer
The longer I live, the larger allowances I make for human infirmities. I exact more from myself, and less from others. Go thou and do likewise! John Wesley
Allowances can always be made for your friends to disagree with you. Disagreement, vehement disagreement, is healthy. Debate is impossible without it. Evil does not question itself. Even the incorruptible are corruptible if they cannot accept the possibility of being mistaken. Craig Ferguson
What a shame that allowances have to stop with the teens: both those that are paid to us and those that are made for us. Mignon McLaughlin
