The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.   –Martin Luther King

“What’s popular isn’t always right and what’s right isn’t always popular.”

One ought never to turn one’s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it.  If you do that, you will double the danger.  But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.   –Winston Churchill
