But is it right?

Cowardice asks the question-is it safe?
Vanity asks the question-is it popular?
Expediency asks the question-is it political
But conscience asks the question-is it right?
There comes a time when one must take a
position that is neither safe, popular,
or political, but because it is right!

--Dr. Martin Luther King

Now that is a well stated point by the always quotable, Dr. King. He had such a profound way of taking principles and making them memorable.
