THE SIN OF SILENCE.
To sin by silence, when we should protest, Makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance, and lust, The inquisition yet would serve the law, And guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again To right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
