Rosa Parks
I knew someone had to take the first step. So I made up my mind not to move.
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
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
The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.
Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks
The time had just come when I had been pushed as far as I could stand to be pushed.
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
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
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
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
It takes more than one person to bring about peace - it takes all of us.
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
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
