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

They're certainly entitled to think that, and they're entitled to full respect for their opinions... but before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.

To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
