Truth is not determined ordtak

en Truth is not determined by majority vote.

en It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.
  Giordano Bruno

en Essentially Mel and Bill complained that I wasn't doing what the majority of the committee wanted. To claim that I'm not doing what the majority is asking is incorrect. It was obvious by the [no confidence] vote that I was.

en [With all of its hassles and aggravations, the job of majority leader can be frustrating.] You have members saying, don't have this vote before 4 p.m. and others saying don't have it after 3 p.m., ... Then if you cancel the vote altogether, the opposition jumps up and says, 'Why aren't you doing anything?'

en The argument that people should give up their convictions and put their vote behind the majority is a dangerous way of thinking. We should vote for ourselves and as we see fit for the college. The fact that we don't take the decision lightly shows our commitment to women's education.

en You can't elect a Democratic dog catcher without a majority of women. There's not a Democratic winner out there that can say he won without the majority of the woman vote.

en I represent the legislature. When I go to the vote, I try to represent the majority view, but I can't make an informed vote until the issue is discussed.

en Many Republicans in Congress - and perhaps a majority - not only do not care about losing the General Assembly vote but actually see it as a "make my day" outcome. Indeed, once the vote is lost, and the adverse consequences predicted by the U.N.'s supporters begin to occur, this will simply provide further evidence to many why nothing more should be paid to the U.N. system.

en It needs to be determined that people are able to vote early, and they're able to vote absentee, which is difficult based on the way rules are. By now, who's considered absentee and who's not? And also, if people are going to be able to actually get transportation to go back to their home parish in Louisiana.

en Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion -- and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority is the stronger) assume its opinion... while truth again reverts to a new minority.
  Soren Kierkegaard

en We are not living in a country where a party with a two-vote majority in Parliament can rule - this is not Iraq. If the Shiites and Kurds will cooperate, there will be a majority, but this is not right, and not the correct way to rule the country.

en We hope a high majority of the Iraqi people will participate in the vote. Whatever the vote of the Iraqi people, the Islamic Republic of Iran will respect it.

en Majority rule is a precious, sacred thing worth dying for. But -- like other precious, sacred things, such as the home and the family -- it's 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 Brooks Brothers 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.
  P. J. O'Rourke

The admission to a political majority is open. The door to a communal majority is closed. The politics of political majority are free to all to make and unmake. The politics of communal majority are made by its own members born in it.
