If you fall behind, run faster. Never give up, never surrender, and rise up against the odds.
From Jesse Jackson
Today's students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. If they can conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude.
At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division.
No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to fly high. No government, no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to surrender your dreams.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result. Tears will get you sympathy; sweat will get you change.
When we're unemployed, we're called lazy; when the whites are unemployed it's called a depression.
In many ways, history is marked as 'before' and 'after' Rosa Parks. She sat down in order that we all might stand up, and the walls of segregation came down.
At the end of the day, we're defined by our predicament, not by the sides of town.
A man must be willing to die for justice. Death is an inescapable reality and men die daily, but good deeds live forever.
