Rosa Parks Quotes

God has always given me the strength to say what is right.

I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free...

so other people would be also free.

People always say that I didn't give up my seat because

I was tired, but that isn't true.

I was not tired physically...

No,

the only tired I was,

was tired of giving in.

Each person must live their life as a model for others.

Memories of our lives,

of our works and our deeds will continue in others.

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.
