“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

Before you start cheering on the deportation of human beings to concentration camps in El Salvador,

first ask yourself, what if they come to get you?

Because there will be nothing anyone can say or do to stop it.

And soon, there may be no one left who even remembers you.

This time, it will be different. Especially in the end.

Does the value of one life equal more than that of another?

This is a timeless question, and who is given the right to say, other than God in Heaven?

When equality is measured by a prejudiced eye, no one is equal to the person with that eye.

No one.

When the judges are men who set themselves aside as superior, those they judge will always be condemned.

This you must remember always.
