How can I introduce 2 of these quotes with a Full Sentence & a Colon?

Quote 1: “A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority, it is not even a minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs by its whole weight” (Thoreau 22).

Quote 2: “If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose” (Thoreau 22).

When you name the author in the sentence before the quotation, all you need in parentheses is the page number. No need to repeat the author's name.

Ok thankyou. How about the 2nd part that I recently posted?
Answered by Writeacher
What full sentence would you use to introduce quotation #1?
Answered by Beth
The minority of people live as impotent and comply with the majority; the hesitation no longer exists by the State if the majority of just men breathe prison air.

Would this be ok?
