They suppressed their feelings and beliefs and followed a handful of people who screamed at the top of their lungs.

There has never been a country in which a majority of its citizens were at heart loyal to any such system. ——Mark Twain

They were meant to be the salt of the earth, and the first duty of salt is to taste salty. ——Henry Van Dyke
