"On some positions 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 he must take it because conscience tells him it is right."
– during a Feb. 6, 1968, speech in Washington, D.C.
在某些立场上，怯懦会问这样一个问题:安全吗?权宜之计提出了一个问题，它是政治性的吗?虚荣心问，它受欢迎吗?但是良心会问，这是对的吗?总有一天，一个人必须采取一种既不安全，也不政治，也不受欢迎的立场，但他必须采取这种立场，因为良心告诉他这是正确的。
