Martin
Luther King once wrote: “Courage is an inner resolution to go forward despite
obstacles; cowardice is submissive surrender to circumstances. Courage breeds
creative self-affirmation; cowardice produces destructive self-abnegation.
Courage faces fear and masters it; cowardice represses fear and is mastered by
it. Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the question, is
it political? 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 political, nor popular, but one must take it because
it is right.”
