MAJORITY

      - Henry Ward Beecher

      - Christian Nestell Bovee

Justice, not the majority, should rule.
      - Christian Nestell Bovee

One with the law is a majority.
      - Calvin Coolidge

Neither current events nor history show that the majority rules, or ever did rule.
      - Jefferson Davis

A majority is always the best repartee.
      - Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield

One and God make a majority.
      - Frederick Douglass

If the majority is insane, the sane must go to the hospital.
      - Horace Mann

We go by the major vote, and if the majority are insane, the sane must go to the hospital.
      - Horace Mann

The voice of the majority is no proof of justice.
      - Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller

Votes should be weighed, not counted!
      - Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller

The fact disclosed by a survey of the past that majorities have been wrong must not blind us to the complementary fact that majorities have usually not been entirely wrong.
      - Herbert Spencer

It never troubles the wolf how many the sheep be.
      - Virgil or Vergil (Publius Virgilius Maro Vergil)

In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude.
      - George Washington
