Quotations by Author

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

Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks

I do the very best I can to look upon life with optimism and hope and looking forward to a better day, but I don't think there is anything such as complete happiness.

I haven't reached that stage yet.

Rosa Parks

The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.

Rosa Parks, (on refusing to give up her seat on the bus)
