For the vast majority of Americans who work hard and play by the rules, paying the bills may be hard some months, but it’s something we always do.  (Majority Rule Quotes) Majority doesn’t rule. One person can change the history of the world.  (Majority Rule Quotes) By rejecting the authority of the individual and replacing it by the numbers of some momentary mob, the parliamentary principle of majority rule sins against the basic aristocratic principle of Nature  (Majority Rule Quotes) The young [Nazi] movement is in its nature and inner organization anti-parliamentarian; that is, it rejects... a principle of majority rule in which the leader is degraded to the level of mere executant of other people’s wills and opinion  (Majority Rule Quotes) The Greeks... labored under the delusion that their democracy was a guarantee of peace and plenty, not realizing that unrestrained majority rule always destroys freedom, puts the minority at the mercy of the mob, and works at cross-purposes to the effective use of human energy and individual initiative  (Majority Rule Quotes) Imagine if all of life were determined by majority rule. Every meal would be a pizza. Every pair of pants, even those in a Brooks Brothers suit, would be stone-washed denim. Celebrity diet and exercise books would be the only thing on the shelves at the library. And - since women are a majority of the population - we’d all be married to Mel Gibson  (Majority Rule Quotes) To be in the EU, it means to have same rules of... for economy, for social life, to be together in the majority of European countries  (Majority Rule Quotes) In a republic this rule ought to be observed: that the majority should not have the predominant power  (Majority Rule Quotes) A living faith cannot be manufactured by the rule of majority  (Majority Rule Quotes) If the tenth of the population that is gay became visible tomorrow, the panic of the majority of people would inspire repressive legislation of a sort that would shock even the pessimists among us  (Majority Rule Quotes) To say that majorities, as such, have a right to rule minorities, is equivalent to saying that minorities have, and ought to have, no rights, except such as majorities please to allow them  (Majority Rule Quotes) The majority does not rule in America, but the minority shouldn't hijack it. And it's because we're afraid. They have isolated us and made us feel as though we're alone. We're not  (Majority Rule Quotes) When great changes occur in history, when great principles are involved, as a rule the majority are wrong  (Majority Rule Quotes) The justification of majority rule in politics is not to be found in its ethical superiority  (Majority Rule Quotes) In a racially divided society, majority rule is not a reliable instrument of democracy  (Majority Rule Quotes) Neither current events nor history show that the majority rule, or ever did rule  (Majority Rule Quotes) The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience  (Majority Rule Quotes) Before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience  (Majority Rule Quotes) But government in which the majority rule in all cases can not be based on justice, even as far as men understand it  (Majority Rule Quotes) The rights to life, liberty and property were not meant to be subject to the vagaries of majority rule  (Majority Rule Quotes) The principle of majority rule is the mildest form in which the force of numbers can be exercised. It is a pacific substitute for civil war in which the opposing armies are counted and the victory is awarded to the larger before any blood is shed. Except in the sacred tests of democracy and in the incantations of the orators, we hardly take the trouble to pretend that the rule of the majority is not at bottom a rule of force  (Majority Rule Quotes) It’s characteristic of democracy that majority rule is understood as being effective not only in politics but also in thinking. In thinking, of course, the majority is always wrong  (Majority Rule Quotes) America was founded on majority rule, not supermajority rule. Somehow, over the years, this has morphed into supermajority rule, and that changes things  (Majority Rule Quotes) Majority rule only works if you’re also considering individual rights. Because you can’t have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper  (Majority Rule Quotes)
