Moral Courage

"Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality of those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change." —Robert Kennedy


Ran across this quote today. It seems timely. It's hard to stand against almost everyone you know. (And most of those you love.) And it's nice to be reminded that doing so has a virtuous and honorable name: Moral Courage.

Would there were more of it.
