“The voice of protest, of warning, of appeal is never more needed than when the clamor of fife and drum, echoed by the press and too often by the pulpit, is bidding all men fall in and keep step and obey in silence the tyrannous word of command. Then, more than ever, it is the duty of the good citizen not to be silent.” – Charles Eliot Norton

"The Syrians and the Iranians will never give up the resistance - they will continue fighting down to the very last Lebanese."
It's not verbatim, but it's the overall gist. Heard it from the head of a think tank based here in Beirut.
