"Is it right?"

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 one's conscience tells one
what is right.

~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
