Famous quotes containing the words majority and/or judgment:

    There’s a certain part of the contented majority who love anybody who is worth a billion dollars.
    John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    At the crash of economic collapse of which the rumblings can already be heard, the sleeping soldiers of the proletariat will awake as at the fanfare of the Last Judgment and the corpses of the victims of the struggle will arise and demand an accounting from those who are loaded down with curses.
    Karl Liebknecht (1871–1919)
