Quotations regarding 'Majority'

Choose a letter: 
Most Americans are more concerned about the economy and job creation. And they can't understand why the Obama administration or the Democrat majority in Congress wants to pass a bill like the cap-and-trade tax that will cost us jobs, that will hurt our economy, that will drive up costs for families, as well as for small businesses.
Haley Barbour, American Politician (1947-  )
The vast majority of Americans agree with us. We're doing everything that we can. We're advertising, right now we're on television with an advertisement running in the Washington area. We've got newspaper ads.
Michael D. Barnes, American Politician (1943-  )
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.
Glenn Beck, American Journalist (1964-  )
In the final analysis, the whole cause of world revolution hinges on the revolutionary struggles of the Asian, African and Latin American people who make up the overwhelming majority of the world's population.
Lin Biao, Chinese Politician (1907-1971)
We submit to the majority because we have to. But we are not compelled to call our attitude of subjection a posture of respect.
Ambrose Bierce, American Journalist (1842-  )
No Congress ever has seen fit to amend the Constitution to address any issue related to marriage. No Constitutional Amendment was needed to ban polygamy or bigamy, nor was a Constitutional Amendment needed to set a uniform age of majority to ban child marriages.
Judy Biggert, American Politician (1937-  )
It's always the minorities who aren't a part of the mainstream who define what the limits... of the majority are going to be.
Rose E. Bird, -
The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions but by iron and blood.
Otto von Bismarck, German Leader (1815-1898)
This majority is working for America, and one of those ways is we have tremendously low unemployment. This economy has created millions of new jobs, and we are expecting growth this first quarter of somewhere higher than 4 percent.
Marsha Blackburn, American Politician (1952-  )
It is precisely because the issue raised by this case touches the heart of what makes individuals what they are that we should be especially sensitive to the rights of those whose choices upset the majority.
Harry A. Blackmun, American Judge (1908-1999)
The majority of information I gave police was about my wife and her family, which is what they wanted.
Robert Blake, American Actor (1933-  )
We have a set of sensible policies that are appropriate for the 21st century and which strike a chord of appeal with the silent majority. Perhaps that is why we are welcoming new members every week who have never before been involved in politics.
Steve Blake, American Athlete (1980-  )
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting distributes an annual appropriation that we provide in accordance with a statutory formula, the vast majority of which goes directly to public radio and television stations.
Earl Blumenauer, American Politician (1948-  )
Clinton was a president who used his office, in creative ways, to try to reinvigorate the federal government to benefit the majority.
Sidney Blumenthal, American Journalist (1948-  )
The value of the majority lies not in the opportunity to wield great power, but in the chance to use power to do great things.
John Boehner, American Politician (1949-  )
But make no mistake, the President will find in our new majority the voice of the American people as they've expressed it tonight: standing on principle, checking Washington's power and leading the drive for a smaller, less costly, and more accountable government.
John Boehner, American Politician (1949-  )
The very purpose of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution is to protect minority rights against majority voters. Every court decision that strikes down discriminatory legislation, including past Supreme Court decisions, affirming the fundamental rights to marry the person you love, overrules a majority decision.
David Boies, American Lawyer (1941-  )
For the vast majority of places in America, there is no way you can build a security system such as we have here because of the high priority this rates in terms of terrorist interests.
Kit Bond, American Politician (1939-  )
It is quite true - in fact, obvious on the surface - that the vast majority of dramatic shows and comedies, as well, advocate a liberal and humanistic and relativistic lifestyle and concept.
Pat Boone, American Musician (1934-  )
Look, all this is about is utilizing the rules of the Senate, using a majority of the senators, to make sure that we get health reform done. We cannot wait another day.
