What really matters is not whether we have problems, but how we go through them. We must keep going on to make it through whatever we are facing.

When people made up their minds that they wanted to be free and took action, then there was a change.

There were times when it would have been easy to fall apart or to go in the opposite direction, but somehow I felt that if I took on more step, someone would come along to join me.

At the time I was arrested I had no idea it would turn into this. It was just a day like any other day. The only thing that made it significant was that the masses of the people joined in.

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

Knowing what must be done does away with fear.

I did not get on the bus to get arrested. I got on the bus to go home.
