Martin Luther King, Jr. Quotes - BrainyQuote

The ultimate measure of a man
is
not where he stands in moments
of
comfort and convenience,
but
where he stands at times
of
challenge and controversy.

~(Martin Luther King, Jr.)~



He who passively accepts evil
is
as much involved in it
as
he who helps to perpetrate it.
 
He who accepts evil without protesting against it
is
really cooperating with it.

~(Martin Luther King, Jr.)~

Barrel of Monkeys:  Genesis in Reverse

Right or wrong, spoken or unspoken, opinions are not just collections of idle thoughts.  
They have consequences.  
They are windows to one's soul.

By conventional standards, I am not a success story. To my peers, nothing to brag about, career or relationship wise. I am, however, financially secure enough to live a comfortable "quiet" lifestyle. 

But, 
to be quiet would require pretending, 
I didn't see it, I didn't hear it, I didn't have something I needed to say;
where injustice doesn't concern me, 
I don't get involved.
