Pastor Niemoeller was a victim of the Nazis. His famous quote reads as follows:
First they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me - and their was no one left to speak for me.
Note: A commonly circulated, contemporary version of the Niemeoller quote reads like this:
When they came for the Fourth Amendment, I did not say anything - because I had nothing to hide.
When they came for the Second Amendment, I did not say anything - because I did not own a gun.
When they came for the Fifth and Sixth amendments, I did not say anything - because I had committed no crimes.
When they came for the first Amendment - I could not say anything.
We have before us the choice to make a difference,
no matter how small,
to put our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor
in the cause of truth and of the Lord of truth.
As Alan Keyes says:
There are those of us who will fight --
few..., many..., or alone if we must.
