Majority

“

A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.

Thomas Jefferson

“

Don’t join too many gangs. Join few if any.
Join the United States and join the family—
But not much in between unless a college.

Robert Frost

“

Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.

Leo Tolstoy

“

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Mark Twain

“

I hear many condemn these men because they were so few. When were the good and the brave ever in a majority?

Henry David Thoreau

“

But yield who will to their separation,
My object in living is to unite
My avocation and my vocation
As my two eyes make one in sight.
Only where love and need are one,
And the work is play for mortal stakes,
Is the deed ever really done
For Heaven and the future’s sakes.

Robert Frost
