"...be counted on to stand up."

Although this quote by Chuck Jones was written  in January of 1961, it is particularly pertinent to today.“Today, we cannot envisage a protected world that does not include them all, and so [my] hope this year to all people everywhere is for a future–sheltered by the stars, sweetened by clean air, and above all fostering a climate in which no man can be commanded to stand up and be counted–but where every man can be counted on to stand up.” –Chuck Jones
