(when it is evident that the minority is the stronger)
assume its opinion... while truth again reverts to a new minority.

Friendships to brighten your being,
Faith so that you can believe,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.
