Visible Minority Person

Famous quotes containing the words visible, minority and/or person:

    It is visible then that it was not any Heathen Religion or other Idolatrous Superstition, that first put Man upon crossing his Appetites and subduing his dearest Inclinations, but the skilful Management of wary Politicians; and the nearer we search into human Nature, the more we shall be convinced, that the Moral Virtues are the Political Offspring which Flattery begot upon Pride.
    Bernard De Mandeville (1670–1733)

    A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority; it is not even a minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs by its whole weight.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I never knew a more presumptuous person than myself. The fact that I say that shows that what I say is true.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
