Mourn the apathetic throng, the coward and the meek who see the world's great anguish and its wrong, and dare not speak. |

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. |

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and the government when it deserves it. |

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the biddingof the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. |

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. |
