Speaking of Abraham Lincoln, Here are couple of quotes that come to my mind.

“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 a right were a vital one.”
Abraham Lincoln
(First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1861)

“Finally, I insist, that if there is anything which it is the duty of the whole people to never entrust to any hands but there own, that thing is the preservation of their own liberties , and institutions.”
Abraham Lincoln
(From the book, “Living Lincoln”)

then there is Homes who was wounded at Antitem (Am. Civil War.) He said,
“I have always said that the rights of a given crowd are what they will fight for.”
