14.3 The Master said: ‘When the Way prevails in the state, be enterprising in speech and enterprising in action; but when the Way does not prevail in the state, be enterprising in action but prudent in speech.’

~ Confucius, The Analects, Book 14 #3, as translated by Raymond Dawson for the Oxford University Press, 1993

One needn’t change one’s beliefs or actions, but when subjected to bad leadership it is prudent to moderate how one presents themselves.
