Right or Wrong

Words from Peter Maurin

  1. Some people say: "My country is always right."
  2. Some people say: "My country is always wrong."
  3. Some people say: "My country is sometimes right and sometimes wrong, but my country right or wrong."
  4. To stick up for one's country when one's country is wrong does not make the country right.
  5. To stick up for the right even when the world is wrong is the only way we know to make everything right.
