"Too many people struggled, suffered, and died..." - Quote by John Lewis

“We have so many issues today that we need to confront. Comprehensive immigration reform. We have to solve the issue of poverty, the issue of hunger, the issue of war - spending billions of dollars to kill rather than to build. We have to deal with the fact that all of our children should be receiving the best possible education.”

“We live in a country where we're supposed to have freedom of the press and religious freedom, but I think to some degree, there's a sense of fear in America today, that if you say the wrong thing, what some people will consider what is wrong, if you step out of line, if you dissent, whether you be an entertainer, that somehow and some way this government or the forces to be will come down on you.”

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

“There are more Negroes in jail with me than there are on the voting rolls.”

“Some of us gave a little blood for the right to participate in the democratic process.”

“When I was growing up in rural Alabama, it was impossible for me to register to vote. I didn't become a registered voter until I moved to Tennessee, to Nashville, as a student.”

“Some mothers need happy children; others need unhappy ones-otherwise they cannot prove their maternal virtues.”

“Love is all, it gives all, and it takes all.”

“It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.”
