I'm looking for whoever said (and I'm not sure what the exact quote
is, and so I'm paraphrasing here): "Whenever I am unsure of what side
to take on an issue, I always side with the minority."
The quote could also go like: "When I am not sure what side to take, I
side with the minority."

Could this be the quote you're seeking?

"I come more and more to the conclusion that one must take the side of
the minority which is always the more intelligent one."

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749-1832), German poet, dramatist. 
Conversation with Friedrich von Müller (March 6, 1828).

Actually, no, the Von Goethe quote is not the one I am looking for.

I am certain that the quote begins with something along the lines of
"When I am not sure, when I am unsure, when I do not know where I
stand..."

You might want to look through these quotes to see whether anything rings a bell:

Thanks for your help, pinkfreud-ga
I looked at these quotes, and I do not see the one I am looking for.
