Never compromise on core principles from "summary" of Rules for Radicals by Saul David Alinsky
The core principles, the basic values, the moral imperatives, these are the foundation upon which we build our movements. They are the guiding light in the darkness, the compass in the storm. To compromise on these principles is to weaken our cause, to blur the lines between right and wrong, to muddy the waters of our purpose. In the heat of battle, in the face of overwhelming odds, it can be tempting to take the easy way out, to make concessions, to cut corners. But we must resist this temptation, we must stand firm in our convictions. For it is only by holding fast to our core principles that we can truly make a difference, that we can bring about real and lasting change. When we compromise on our core principles, we betray not only ourselves but also those who look to us for leadership. We lose their trust, their respect, their support. And without the support of the people, we are nothing. We are just a voice crying out in the wilderness, a ship adrift at sea. So let us resolve, here and now, to never compromise on our core principles. Let us hold fast to what we know to be true, to what we know to be right. Let us be unwavering in our commitment to justice, to equality, to freedom. And in doing so, let us inspire others to join us in the fight, to stand shoulder to shoulder with us in the struggle for a better world.
