Words from Robert Ingersoll - 10

In my judgment it is the duty of every man to think and express his thoughts; but at the same time do not make martyrs of yourselves. Those people that are not willing that you should be honest, they are not worth dying for, they are not worth being a martyr for, and if you are afraid you cannot support your wife and children in this town and express your honest thought, why keep it to yourself, but if there is such a man here he is a living certificate of the meanness of the community in which he lives.
