I Do The Very Best I Can

I Do The Very Best I Can To Look Upon Life With Optimism And Hope And Looking Forward To A Better Day.

I Did Not Want To Be Mistreated, I Did Not Want To Be Deprived Of A Seat That I Had Paid For. It Was Just Time… There Was Opportunity For Me To Take A Stand To Express The Way I Felt About Being Treated In That Manner. I Had Not Planned To Get Arrested. I Had Plenty To Do Without Having To End Up In Jail. But When I Had To Face That Decision, I Didn't Hesitate To Do So Because I Felt That We Had Endured That Too Long. The More We Gave In, The More We Complied With That Kind Of Treatment, The More Oppressive It Became.

I Have Spent Over Half My Life Teaching Love And Brotherhood, And I Feel That It Is Better To Continue To Try To Teach Or Live Equality And Love Than It Would Be To Have Hatred Or Prejudice. Everyone Living Together In Peace And Harmony And Love - That’s The Goal That We Seek, And I Think That The More People There Are Who Reach That State Of Mind, The Better We Will All Be.

If I Can Sit Down For Freedom, You Can Stand Up For Children.

If I Stayed Angry At Other People, I Would Miss Finding Friends Among Those I Was Angry With.
