Looking at it today I think my paraphrasing still left the answer a bit too obvious
You left in a too many of the original words. I recognized the source as Lincoln, but I still found that the easiest way to find a copy of the speech was grabbing about a half sentence and dumping it into a search box.
Very timely quote as Theodoric points out.
Je Suis Charlie
Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass
