Lords Hansard text for 7 Mar 2005 (250307-06): "'On some positions, cowardice asks the question 'Is it safe?'. Expediency asks the question: 'Is it politic?'. And Vanity asks the question: 'Is it popular?'. But conscience asks the question 'Is it right?'. And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular. But one must take it because it is right'."

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws quoting Martin Luther King.
