“”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”

I believe a more accurate quote from Mr. Adams ends with these words:’...keen to setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.’.

You are correct. His quote:

"It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams
