Mogwai (travel is dangerous)

On some positions a coward has asked 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 he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.
– Martin Luther King Jr., November 1967. (via dkos)

really cool! the guest speaker at my graduation said that its not a case that some people don't have consciences, its just that certain people suppress their consciences so much that it eventually fades away.
