"Justice is as strictly due between neighbor nations as between
neighbor citizens. A highwayman is as much a robber when he plunders in a gang

gang": Benjamin Franklin to Benjamin Vaughan, 14 March 1785 (B 11:16-7)

you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the
law: Henry David Thoreau, On the Duty of Civil Disobediance, 1849

Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong,
which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be
a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and
excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let men label
you as they may: Mark Twain

=

"legal" and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary
was "illegal." ~Martin Luther King, Jr., "Letter from Birmingham Jail,"
Why We Can't Wait, 1963

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side
of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse
and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your
neutrality. ~Bishop Desmond Tutu

Write on my gravestone: "Infidel, Traitor." --infidel to every church
that compromises with wrong; traitor to every government that oppresses
the people.: Wendell Phillips
