“I believe that you see something that you want to get done, you cannot give up, and you cannot give in.”

Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime.

Give us a vote! Let us vote! We came here to do our job. We came here to work.

I don’t have any extraordinary gifts. I’m just an average Joe who grew up very poor in rural Alabama.

I believe in freedom of speech, but I also believe that we have an obligation to condemn speech that is racist, bigoted, anti-Semitic, or hateful.

It’s a shame and a disgrace that so few people take part in the political process.

We must be headlights and not taillights.

Never become bitter, and in the process, be happy and just go for it.

When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to say something; you have to do something.

You cannot be afraid to speak up and speak out for what you believe. You have to have courage, raw courage.

In spite of all of the things, the issues, that we may be confronting today, I’m very hopeful, very optimistic about the future.

To make it hard, to make it difficult almost impossible for people to cast a vote is not in keeping with the democratic process.

Create a society at peace with itself, and lay down the burden of hate and division.

People must understand that people were beaten, arrested, jailed, and some people were murdered, while attempting to register to vote, or to get others to register to vote.

If you’re not hopeful and optimistic, then you just give up. You have to take that long hard look and just believe that if your consistent, you will succeed.

Reading the Martin Luther King story, that little comic book, set me on the path that I’m on today.

You have to be optimistic just in keeping with the philosophy of non-violence.

We are at times too ready to believe that the present is the only possible state of things.

There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.

The secret is to believe in your dreams; in your potential that you can be like your star, keep searching, keep believing and don’t lose faith in yourself.

In order to hit a good golf shot at that moment in time when you’re standing over the ball, you must believe that golf shot is the most important things in your life.

I believe because it is absurd.

What you believe you experience.

Two years ago, if anyone had told me I’d be doing half the stuff I’m doing, I wouldn’t have believed it.

One who believes all of a book would be better off without books.
