Moral cowardice that keeps us from speaking our minds is as dangerous to this country as irresponsible talk. The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.

  • -- Margaret Chase Smith 玛格丽特·蔡斯·史密斯

道德上的懦弱使我们不敢说出自己的想法，这对这个国家来说就像不负责任的言论一样危险。正确的方法并不总是受欢迎和容易的方法。在不受欢迎的时候坚持正义是对道德品质的真正考验。
