Many crumble and forget their morals when presented with their pieces of silver. Standing up for what you believe has real dignity too.

About This Quote

My mother used to say: "Many crumble and forget their morals when presented with their pieces of silver. Standing up for what you believe has real dignity too.” When we are faced with something we believe in, we may feel pressured to do the wrong thing out of fear. We become afraid to stand up for what we know is right. However, as Nelson Mandela said, “Many crumble and forget their morals when presented with their pieces of silver. Standing up for what you believe has real dignity too."
