More quotes by Rosa Parks
The time had just come when I had been pushed as far as I could stand to be pushed.
Rosa Parks
When that white driver stepped back toward us, when he waved his hand and ordered us up and out of our seats, I felt a determination cover my body like a quilt on a winter night.
Rosa Parks
I want to be treated like a human being.
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
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
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
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
An opportunity was being given to me to do what I had asked of others.
Rosa Parks
If I can sit down for freedom, you can stand up for children.
Rosa Parks
The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.
Rosa Parks
I believe there is only one race - the human race.
Rosa Parks
Arrest me for sitting on a bus? You may do that.
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
Why do you all push us around?
Rosa Parks
As long as there is unemployment, war, crime and all things that go to the infliction of man's inhumanity to man, regardless - there is much to be done, and people need to work together.
Rosa Parks
Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.
Rosa Parks
Without a vision the people perish, but without courage dreams die.
Rosa Parks
I knew someone had to take the first step. So I made up my mind not to move.
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
Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.
Rosa Parks
