[R-G] Friends Digest Vol. 2, No. 8

[james m nordlund]

"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." --
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
