Mark Twain on Tolerance:

All the talk about tolerance, in anything or anywhere, is plainly a
gentle lie. It does not exist. It is in no man's heart; but it unconsciously,
and by moss-grown inherited habit, drivels and slobbers from all men's
lips.
- Mark Twain's Autobiography

If the man doesn't believe as we do, we say he is a crank and that settles
it. I mean it does nowadays, because we can't burn him.
- Following the Equator
