phoronix

Cautious, careful people always casting about to preserve their
reputation or social standards never can bring about reform. Those
who are totally in earnest are willing to be anything or nothing in
the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and
out, avow their sympathies with despised ideas and their advocates,
and bear the consequences.
-- Susan B. Anthony (1873)
