Hear Cases

Famous quotes containing the words hear and/or cases:

    Thru all the tumult and the strife,
    I hear that music ringing.
    It sounds and echoes in my soul;
    How can I keep from singing?
    —Quaker. (Worship Comes Alive)

    After all, the practical reason why, when the power is once in the hands of the people, a majority are permitted, and for a long period continue, to rule is not because they are most likely to be in the right, nor because this seems fairest to the minority, but because they are physically the strongest. But a government in which the majority rule in all cases cannot be based on justice, even as far as men understand it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
