One of my favourite quotes remain this quote ascribed to Martin Niemoller(Though there is a school of thought that argues this). I tend to focus more on its message rather than who actually spurred forth such a timeless piece, on the importance of speaking out especially in circumstances when it is needed to right a wrong. Good Morning people!
''First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.''
- Martin Niemöller
