Bigotry is chronic dogmatism. [ Horace Greeley ]

All looks yellow to the jaundiced eye. [ Pope ]

Bigotry dwarfs the soul by shutting out the truth. [ Chapin ]

Every sect clamors for toleration when it is down. [ Macaulay ]

Bigotry murders religion to frighten folks with her ghost. [ Colton ]

A man who stole the livery of the court of heaven to serve the devil in. [ Pollok ]

There is no tariff so injurious as that with which sectarian bigotry guards its commodities. [ Chapin ]

The blindness of bigotry, the madness of ambition, and the miscalculations of diplomacy seek their victims principally amongst the innocent and the unoffending. The cottage is sure to suffer for every error of the court, the cabinet, or the camp.
