I am faithfully devoted to the Republic but will not serve it at the expense of my conscience and my honor.Toussaint Louverture
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.Martin Luther King, Jr.
