I love that quote too. It goes hand in hand, for me, with: “Do you have enemies? Good – for that means you have stood up for something at some point in your life”. And the quote from Harry Potter by headmaster Albus Dumbledore: “Sometimes we have to choose between what is easy and what is right”. Not always the easy place to be, especially when we are judged wrongly by others for it, but the necessary way to be when we know that morally we need to take a stand. Nothing worse than compromising our integrity.

Those are great quotes! Thanks for sharing them!
In this world of convenience we certainly do need to take them to heart.
