Famous quotes containing the words norman and/or period:
“Many are called but few are chosen. There are sayings of Christ which suggest that the Church he came to establish will always be a minority affair.”
—Edward Norman (b. 1946)
“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)
