Quote for the Day


"In Germany, they came first for the Communists,
And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;

And then they came for the trade unionists,
And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;

And then they came for the Jews,
And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;

And then…they came for me…And by that time there was no one left to speak up."

Friedrich Gustav Emil Martin Niemöller (14 January 1892 – 6 March 1984)
