Following your convictions means you must be willing to face criticism from those who lack the same courage to do what is right. It's called the road less traveled.

When you receive criticism from well-meaning people, it pays to ask, 'Are they right?' And if they are, you need to adapt what they're doing. If they're not right, if you really have conviction that they're not right.

Stand with anybody that stands RIGHT. Stand with him while he is right and PART with him when he goes wrong.

There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right and not to fear to do or say what you believe to be right.

There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right and not to fear to do or say what you believe to be right. That is the only way to deserve and to win the confidence of our great people in these days of trouble.

You are neither right nor wrong because the crowd disagrees with you.
