More quotes by Rosa Parks
Arrest me for sitting on a bus? You may do that.
Rosa Parks
The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.
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
My resisting being mistreated on the bus did not begin with that particular arrest…I did a lot of walking in Montgomery.
Rosa Parks
One person can change the world.
Rosa Parks
Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.
Rosa Parks
I knew someone had to take the first step. So I made up my mind not to move.
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
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
Why do you all push us around?
Rosa Parks
I will always work for human rights for all people.
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
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
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
When people made up their minds that they wanted to be free and took action, then there was a change.
Rosa Parks
An opportunity was being given to me to do what I had asked of others.
Rosa Parks
I did not get on the bus to get arrested. I got on the bus to go home.
Rosa Parks
Without a vision the people perish, but without courage dreams die.
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 want to be treated like a human being.
Rosa Parks
