"My Feet Are Tired, But My Soul's At Rest"
When we are really honest with ourselves we must admit that our lives are all that really belong to us. So it is how we use our lives that determines what kind of men we are. It is my deepest belief that only by giving our lives do we find life. I am convinced that the truest act of courage, the strongest act of manliness, is to sacrifice ourselves for others in a totally non-violent struggle for justice.

Rest in peace Rosa Parks, thank you for helping make this world a little better.

I researched this a bit when I posted and maybe you are right, but there was not a definitive answer. Apparently it was uttered during a rally of sorts to, I believe, MLK. I am not sure as I read the articles a few days ago. There are many different accounts of that quote and, well, I decided on this one. Again, maybe I am wrong.
