Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. -- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

A good end cannot sanctify evil means; nor must we ever do evil, that good might come of it. -- William Penn

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. --attributed to Edmund Burke
