Thoughts for politicians - and for us all- on doing the right thing



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.
