More quotes by Rosa Parks
Racial pride and self-dignity were emphasized in my family and community.
Rosa Parks
I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear knowing what must be done does away with fear.
Rosa Parks
Victory or defeat? It is the slogan of all-powerful militarism in every belligerent nation. And yet, what can victory bring to the proletariat?
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
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
When people made up their minds that they wanted to be free and took action, then there was a change.
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
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
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
I believe there is only one race - the human race.
Rosa Parks
The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.
Rosa Parks
I knew someone had to take the first step. So I made up my mind not to move.
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
It takes more than one person to bring about peace - it takes all of us.
Rosa Parks
Black women are very capable of leading our organizations. I believe that firmly.
Rosa Parks
I had felt for a long time, that if I was ever told to get up so a white person could sit, that I would refuse to do so.
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
An opportunity was being given to me to do what I had asked of others.
Rosa Parks
Why do you all push us around?
Rosa Parks
