From Martin Luther King, Jr's famous "Beyond Vietnam" speech at the Riverside Church in New York City, April 4, 1967.
..."The truth of these words is beyond doubt, but the mission to which they call us is a most difficult one. Even when pressed by the demand of inner truth, people do not easily assume the task of opposing their government's policy, especially in time of war. Nor does the human spirit move without great difficulty against all the apathy of conformist thought within one's own bosom and in the surrounding world. Moreover, when the issues at hand seem as perplexing as they often do in the case of dreadful conflict, we are always on the verge of being mesmerized by uncertainty. But we must move on."
