“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; certainly would if such right were a vital one. But such is not our case.”
“I wanted to run after him, but remembered that it is ridiculous to run after one's wife's lover
