“In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place.”

“The man who is right is a majority. He who has God and conscience on his side, has a majority against the universe.”

“Laws don't limit freedom. Laws insure the freedoms of the majority. Laws are unjust when they serve to put the majority of the people at the mercy of an aggressive, hostile minority.”

“The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.”

“Inspector Javert, conscience is a higher law.”

“True law, the code of justice, the essence of our sensations of right and wrong, is the conscience of society. It has taken thousands of years to develop, and it is the greatest, the most distinguishing quality which has developed with mankind ... If we can touch God at all, where do we touch him save in the conscience? And what is the conscience of any man save his little fragment of the conscience of all men in all time?”
