"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."

"We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people"

"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 comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular---but one must take it because it is right."
