\n“There is nothing to be afraid of if you believe and know that the cause for which you stand is right. Courage breeds self-affirmation. It faces fear and thereby masters it. A refusal to be stopped, the courage to be, the determination to go on in spite of, is the hallmark of great movements. Do not be intimidated. Do not be harassed. Do not be silent. Be heard. Whenever you see injustice, take a stand against it. Remember that the road ahead will not always be smooth. There will be rocky places of frustration and meandering points of bewilderment. There will be inevitable setbacks here and there. No leader can be great, or even fit for office, if he attempts to accommodate to injustice to maintain his political balance. A firm sense of self-esteem is the most powerful weapon against slander and vilification.”<\/p>\n
