On Consensus

“The grandest majority in the world is a minority of one when that man is on God’s side. Count heads, do you? Well, count by the millions if you like, but I shall rather weigh than count; and if I speak the truth of God, I have more weight on my side than can be found in a million who believe not.” (1453.28)

“Nothing good will be done by a man who will not attempt it until everybody thinks it is wise.” (3078.66)
