Quote

It is unnatural for a majority to rule, for a majority can seldom be organized and united for specific action, and a minority can.

The majority is not society, is not everyone. Majority coercion over the minority is still coercion.

In a republic this rule ought to be observed: that the majority should not have the predominant power.

Because America leads the world by example, it's no surprise that some might seek to imitate our domestic rules and regulations on a global scale.

The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.

The magic of the American experience is that we've upheld the rule of law for everybody, everybody treated equally beneath the law.

A minority may be right, and a majority is always wrong.

The minority is sometimes right; the majority always wrong.

The majority is always wrong; the minority is rarely right.

The purpose of the minority is to become the majority.
