Majority"In Gods world, there are no majorities, no minorities; one, on Gods side, is a majority."
A majority is more than half of a total; however, the term is commonly used with other meanings, as explained in the "Related terms" section below.
"The majority represents a mass of cowards, willing to accept him who mirrors its own soul and mind poverty."
"The worst enemy of truth and freedom in our society is the compact majority. Yes, the damned, compact, liberal majority."
"In our governments the real power lies in the majority of the community, and the invasion of is chiefly to be apprehended, not from the acts of government contrary to the sense of the constituents, but from the acts in which government is the mere instrument of the majority."
"As for the Minority, its very existence proves that it does not recognise the Authority of the Majority, since forming a minority means precisely being opposed to the majority, and so reacting (in one way or another) against its acts. But, where there is no Authority, reactions can only be removed by force. Therefore, wherever the Majority claims a sui generis would-be Authority resulting form its sheer number, it is in fact claiming pure and simple force. (A regime that is based purely and solely on a majority is a regime founded on force only. The majority regime can therefore be contrasted with the authoritarian one; the latter rests on Authority, while the former rests on force.)"
"Majority rule is a precious, sacred thing worth dying for. But—like other precious, sacred things, such as the home and the family—its not only worth dying for; it can make you wish you were dead. Imagine if all of life were determined by majority rule. Every meal would be a pizza. Every pair of pants, even those in a suit, would be stonewashed 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."
"Im plotting revolution against this lie that the majority has a monopoly of the truth. What are these truths that always bring the majority rallying round? Truths so elderly they are practically senile. And when a truth is as old as that, gentlemen, you can hardly tell it from a lie."
