Quote of the Day

O sovereign angel,
Wide-winged stranger
above a forgetful earth,
Care for me, care for me,
Keep me unaware of danger
And not regretful
And not forgetful
of my innocent birth.

~ by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Rosa Parks

Knowing what must be done does away with fear

Rosa Parks | September 2021 (Vol. XXXIV, No. 8)

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.

~ Rosa Parks with Gregory J. Reed in QUIET STRENGTH

The truth that I hold deeply on the inside

Rosa Parks | May 2004 (Vol. XVII, No. 5)

I will no longer act on the outside in a way that contradicts the truth that I hold deeply on the inside. I will no longer act as if I were less than the whole person I know myself to be.

~ by Rosa Parks
