"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, not politic, not popular but he must do it because conscience tells him it is right and that is where I stand today and that is where I hope you will continue to stand so that we can speed up the day when Justice will roll down like waters all over the world and righteousness like a mighty stream."
