  • If by the mere force of numbers a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution.

  • A number of current theoretical explorations will turn out to be passing fancies...

  • Pray tell us, what's your favorite number?

  • The Prophet defeated the enemies of Islam even when he and his followers were small in number.
