Statement #61

Student Success Statement

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.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Reflection: I think what he is trying to say is that it doesn't matter what you do is it safe or unpopular.

If the right is that choice you must abide by it. You must choose the right no matter if it unpolitical because that is all that matters in the end, whether you chose the right or not.
