I think you got the quote wrong, or else the original is wrong.

I can't find a source for this, but it makes a good point. Recognizing the intolerance within yourself and rooting it out is how you become more tolerant. Simply tolerating others is not the same as truly embracing them.

You mean less tolerant?

Yes. I've heard this. It's so many people block me on here. Because I confront people. Especially those pushing the alt right agenda.

People who do nothing but politely smile is Holocausts happen. They are apaths.

Is it kind of like “to suffer fools gladly”?
......Maybe it’s like “Illegitimi non carborundum”. I’m not sure who said that but It means “don’t let the bastards get you down.”
