It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.

  • -- Samuel Adams 塞缪尔·亚当斯

它不需要多数人的支持就能获胜，而需要的是愤怒的、不知疲倦的少数人的支持，他们热衷于在人们的头脑中燃起熊熊烈火。

It is bad to be oppressed by a minority, but it is worse to be oppressed by a majority. For there is a reserve of latent power in the masses which, if it is called into play, the minority can seldom resist. But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.

被少数人压迫是不好的，但被多数人压迫更坏。因为群众中有一种潜在的力量，叫它发挥作用，少数人是很难抗拒的。但出于全体人民的绝对意志，除了叛国之外，没有任何呼吁，没有任何救赎，没有任何庇护。

不能假设今天的大多数人是“正确的”，而阿米什人和其他类似的人是“错误的”。一种奇怪甚至不稳定但不干涉他人权益的生活方式不应因其不同而受到谴责。
