“People who use their erudition to write for a learned minority... don't seem to me favored by fortune but rather to be pitied for their continuous self-torture. They add, change, remove, lay aside, take up, rephrase, show to their friends, keep for nine years and are never satisfied. And their futile reward, a word of praise from a handful of people, they win at such a cost -- so many late nights, such loss of sleep, sweetest of all things, and so much sweat and anguish... their health deteriorates, their looks are destroyed, they suffer partial or total blindness, poverty, ill-will, denial of pleasure, premature old age and early death.”
Desiderius Erasmus
“Most people fail in life because they major in minor things.”
Anthony Robbins
“The only truly happy people are children and the creative minority.”

John Adams
“What's a cult? It just means not enough people to make a minority.”
Robert Altman
“The white people of the South are the greatest minority in this nation. They deserve consideration and understanding instead of the persecution of twisted propaganda.”
Strom Thurmond
“If you want to be a government in a minority Parliament, you have to work with other people.”
