+Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the
+truth, for being correct, for being you.  Never apologize for being correct,
+or for being years ahead of your time.  If you're right and you know it,
+speak your mind.  Speak your mind.  Even if you are a minority of one, the
+truth is still the truth.
+  -- Mahatma Gandhi

+    The sky is pure, open space, free from all obstructions.  The nature of
+our mind is similar: the afflictions, self-centered attitude, and other
+obscurations are not in its essential nature.  Just as clouds may temporarily
+obscure the open sky, anger, attachment, and confusion can temporarily obscure
+our mind.  When they do, the pure, open nature of the mind still remains; we
+just can't see it at the time.
+    By generating the wisdom realizing the emptiness of inherent existence, we
+will be able to eradicate obscurations from our mind forever and enjoy the
+sky-like spaciousness of a purified mind.
+  -- Thubten Chodron, from "Awaken Every Day: 365 Buddhist Reflections to
+     Invite Mindfulness and Joy", Shambhala Publications
