Abraham Lincoln
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.
|
Albert Guinon
When everyone is against you, it means that you are absolutely wrong--or absolutely right.
|
Benjamin Franklin
Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all.
|
Carrie Chapman Catt
To the wrongs that need resistance,To the right that needs assistance,To the future in the distance,Give yourselves.
|
Davy Crockett
I leave this rule for others when I'm dead, Be always sure you're right--then go ahead.
|
Dr. Laura Schlessinger
The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self-esteem.
|
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
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 that it is right.
|
Henry Fielding
If a man has acted right, he has done well, though alone; if wrong, the sanction of all mankind will not justify him.
|
Hubert Humphrey speech, 1977
The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life--the children; those who are in the twilight of life--the aged; and those who are in the shadows of life--the sick, the needy and the handicapped.
|
John Stuart Mill
The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant.
|
Josh Billings
Reason often makes mistakes, but conscience never does.
|
Lawrence G. Lovasik The Hidden Power of Kindness
To be outspoken when truth is under attack, when charity is being bruise, or when important issues of life are at stake is a good and courageous thing. To be outspoken when nothing is at stake except the feelings of someone else is a small and contemptible thing.
