C.N. Douglas, comp. Forty Thousand Quotations: Prose and Poetical. 1917.
Majority
One on God’s side is a majority.
Wendell Phillips.
Votes should be weighed, not counted!
Schiller.
Justice, not the majority, should rule.
Bovee.
One and God make a majority.
Frederick Douglass.
If the majority is insane, the sane must go to the hospital.
Horace Mann.
The voice of the majority is no proof of justice.
Schiller.
It never troubles the wolf how many the sheep be.
Virgil.
A man in the right, with God on his side, is in the majority, though he be alone, for God is multitudinous above all populations of the earth.
Beecher.
A better principle than this, that “the majority shall rule,” is this other, that justice shall rule. “Justice,” says the code of Justinian, “is the constant and perpetual desire to render every man his due.”
Bovee.
