"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.
"First they came for the Communists,
But I didn't speak because I wasn't a Communist.
Next they came for the Jews,
But I said nothing because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
But I remained silent because I was a Protestant
Finally they came for me,
But by that time there was no one left to speak"
-- Martin Niemoeller (Germany, 1944)
