More quotes by Rosa Parks
Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.
Rosa Parks
If you want to be respected for your actions, then your behavior must be above reproach. If our lives demonstrate that we are peaceful, humble, and trusted, this is recognized by others.
Rosa Parks
I will always work for human rights for all people.
Rosa Parks
Many whites, even white Southerners told me that even though it may have seemed like the blacks were being freed (by my actions) they felt more free and at ease themselves. They thought that my action didn't just free blacks but them, too.
Rosa Parks
The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.
Rosa Parks
I had been pushed as far as I could stand to be pushed. I had decided that I would have to know once and for all what rights I had as a human being and a citizen.
Rosa Parks
It takes more than one person to bring about peace - it takes all of us.
Rosa Parks
Our mistreatment was just not right, and I was tired of it.
Rosa Parks
My resisting being mistreated on the bus did not begin with that particular arrest…I did a lot of walking in Montgomery.
Rosa Parks
If I can sit down for freedom, you can stand up for children.
Rosa Parks
What really matters is not whether we have problems, but how we go through them. We must keep going on to make it through whatever we are facing.
Rosa Parks
There is work to do that is why I cannot stop or sit still. As long as a child needs help, as long as people are not free, there will be work to do. As long as an elderly person is attacked or in need of support, there is work to do. As long as we have bigotry and crime, we have work to do.
Rosa Parks
Why do you all push us around?
Rosa Parks
I would like to be known as a person who is concerned about freedom and equality and justice and prosperity for all people.
Rosa Parks
We didn't have any civil rights. It was just a matter of survival, of existing from one day to the next. I remember going to sleep as a girl hearing the Klan ride at night and hearing a lynching and being afraid the house would burn down.
Rosa Parks
As long as people use tactics to oppress or restrict other people from being free, there is work to be done.
Rosa Parks
One person can change the world.
Rosa Parks
When people made up their minds that they wanted to be free and took action, then there was a change.
Rosa Parks
Without a vision the people perish, but without courage dreams die.
Rosa Parks
There is a lack of interest in voting in the United States, and that troubles me. It is very necessary that people get registered, study the issues and be aware of the politics of our country. We will really be set back if people don't take the time to learn about the candidates who are concerned about the well-being of all the citizens and vote.
Rosa Parks
