of Majority
Source: Webster's dictionaryThe 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
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). Ayn Rand
One great object of the Constitution was to restrain majorities from oppressing minorities or encroaching upon their just rights. James K. Polk
Decision by majorities is as much an expedient, as lighting by gas. William Ewart Gladstone
Majorities are generally wrong, if only in their reasons for being right. George Saintsbury
Demand the ballot as the undeniable right of every man who is called to the poll, and take special care that the old constitutional rule and principle, by which majorities alone shall decide in Parliamentary elections, shall not be violated. John Bright
