Majority Judgment

Famous quotes containing the words majority and/or judgment:

“There is something wonderful in seeing a wrong-headed majority assailed by truth.”

“Such condition of suspended judgment indeed, in its more genial development and under felicitous culture, is but the expectation, the receptivity, of the faithful scholar, determined not to foreclose what is still a question—the “philosophic temper,” in short, for which a survival of query will be still the salt of truth, even in the most absolutely ascertained knowledge.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
