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 one's conscience tells one that it is right.
-  Martin Luther King Junior

Nothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well-ordered mind than a man's ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his
own company.
- Seneca, philosopher (BCE 3-65 CE)
