Since the birth of our Nation, no other right has been more important than having the ability to vote. Unfortunately, as history has shown, the denial of this right to minorities is a scar on our system of democracy.

The purpose of the minority is to become the majority.

Never be afraid to stand with the minority when the minority is right, for the minority which is right will one day be the majority.

Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).

The right to vote is one of our nation's most important civil rights.

Exercising the right to vote is essential to our democracy.

Suffrage is the pivotal right.

In a democracy, the majority of the citizens is capable of exercising the most cruel oppressions upon the minority.

We always hear about the rights of democracy, but the major responsibility of it is participation.

Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half of the time.
