IT'S easy to be right when the multitude is cheering, <br />It is easy to have courage when you're fighting with the throng; <br />But it's altogether different when the multitude is sneering <br />To fight for what you know is right with no one else along. <br /> <br />It's easy to be honest when the multitude is gazing, <br />It is easy to be truthful when the crowds are standing by; <br />But it's altogether different when there is no spotlight blazing <br />To stand alone for what is right and never cheat or lie.<br /><br />Edgar Albert Guest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lonely-fight/
