More quotes by Rosa Parks
People need to free their minds of racial prejudice and believe in equality for all and freedom regardless of race. It would be a good thing if all people were treated equally and justly and not be discriminated against because of race or religion or anything that makes them different from others.
Rosa Parks
I knew someone had to take the first step. So I made up my mind not to move.
Rosa Parks
Nothing in the Golden Rule says that others will treat us as we have treated them. It only says that we must treat others in a way that we would want to be treated.
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
I do the very best I can to look upon life with optimism and hope and looking forward to a better day.
Rosa Parks
Why do you all push us around?
Rosa Parks
The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.
Rosa Parks
Every day before supper and before we went to services on Sundays. My grandmother would read the Bible to me, and my grandfather would pray. We even had devotions before going to pick cotton in the fields. Prayer and the Bible, became a part of my everyday thoughts and beliefs. I learned to put my trust in God and to seek Him as my strength.
Rosa Parks
Our mistreatment was just not right, and I was tired of it.
Rosa Parks
I will always work for human rights 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
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
To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try.
Rosa Parks
Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.
Rosa Parks
I did not get on the bus to get arrested. I got on the bus to go home.
Rosa Parks
An opportunity was being given to me to do what I had asked of others.
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
Without a vision the people perish, but without courage dreams die.
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
