This is one of my most favorite quotes. And every time I hear it or read it, my eyes fill with tears and I get a chill up my spine. <3
"We must know on some positions, cowardice asks the question, “Is it safe?” Expediency asks the question, “Is it politic?” Vanity asks the question, “Is it popular?” But Conscience asks the question, “Is it right?” And there’re times when you must take a stand that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but you must do it because it is right."
