Civil Disobedience Quotes
Showing: 1 - 4 Civil Disobedience Quotes of 4
If however the law is so promulgated that it of necessity makes you an agent of injustices against another, then I say to you ... break the law.
... true civil disobedience ... compels the state to resort to power.
The only safe and honorable course for a self-respecting man is to do what I have decided to do, that is, to submit without protest to the penalty of disobedience ... not for want of respect for lawful authority, but in obedience to the higher law of our being, the voice of conscience.
An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.
