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.

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.

I believe we are here on the planet Earth to live, grow up and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom.

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.

I knew someone had to take the first step. So I made up my mind not to move.

Knowing what must be done does away with fear.

Without a vision the people perish, but without courage dreams die.
