Kai Greene Quotes

I refuse to believe today will be just another day in my life.

All that I am.

All that I will become will be written through my thoughts and my actions.

I’ve conditioned my mind.

Trained my body.

Sacrificed my soul.

There will be obstacles.

Doubters.

Mistakes.

But nothing comes to those who wait.

What am I doing with my life? Am I just going to some humdrum job that I don’t really want to be at, doing some minuscule task, getting paid to be a mindless drone? Or am I out there living life, on my terms, the way I want to live it, doing the things that I want to do?

The mind is everything. If you don’t believe you can do something then you can’t. If you believe that your upbringing was substandard and therefore you have to walk around as a refugee from that crisis situation for the rest of your life, forever bearing the burden of that experience then that will be YOUR life.

Some people can make fun of it, they can crack jokes they can analyze and criticize and make all the fun they want but I’m living my life. I’m doing it! What are you?

“Thoughts Become Things”

“The bound of iron keeps us together.”

Bodybuilding has been the tool that single-handedly taught a little black boy from the projects to use his mind to achieve success. it taught me to see things for what they can be. I had 17-inch arms; I imagined them to be 24 inches. The power of my mind allowed me to achieve what I imagined.

“Sometimes people with the worst pasts end up creating the best futures.”

“Anyone can train to be a gladiator. What marks you out is having the mindset of a champion. When you are destined for greatness, it shows in everything you do. It becomes you.”

“The most important thing necessary is desire.”

“If you’re trying to lose weight, or to improve yourself, or to love, or to make the world a better place, you have already achieved something wonderful, before you even begin. “Forget failure”. If things don’t work out the way you want, hold your head up high and be proud. And try again and again.”

“There were no signs of a road. Nothing but shattered glass bottles and jagged rocks… My friends, this road at one point in time was created by one man… one woman in the hope that one day it would serve for a better purpose… Today that road has become a sidewalk with flowers and benches lining from side to side. The road has come into existence by the efforts of every traveler and the hope of that one individual.”

“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. Those hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.”

“If we could say it in words, there would be no reason to body build, no reason to sing, and no reason to paint. I encourage you to ‘do something that words cannot simply explain’”

My understanding about nutrition is not what I’d like it to be, so for a long time my dieting strategy was very crude. It’s only very recently that I started to accept different ideas like using vegetables and natural seasonings that don’t compromise the sodium and caloric value of the food while at the same time giving it some flavor. I’m still evolving; everybody is or at least should be in bodybuilding.

My goal is to be a contributor and to encourage others as they realize their dreams.

If you don’t have a dream, then you have nothing to work for, nothing to get up in the morning for, no reason and no purpose to be. But friends we do have a dream and dreams do come true not because we keep believing but we keep working hard

If a man doesn’t have a dream, then he has nothing to work for. Nothing to get up in the morning. No reason, no purpose, to be

Your dreams are always going to be the most important to you than they will be to anybody else. So keep dreaming, keep believing, keep pressing forward. So all those warriors out there – be encouraged

Your dreams will always be more important to you than anyone else, you can want something as much as you want but at the end of the day your mum doesn’t care if your arms are 24 inches or not, but that doesn’t mean you give up, chase your dreams.

We are here to learn and to make our dreams realized.

Not mine, oh, Lord, but thine.

If the Confederacy fails, there should be written on its tombstone: Died of a Theory.

God forbid that the day should ever come when to be true to my constituents is to be hostile to the Union.

Neither current events nor history show that the majority rule, or ever did rule.

Garfield’s assassination attempt made “the whole nation care”.

My own convictions as to Negro slavery are strong. It has its evils and abuses…We recognize the negro as God and God’s Book and God’s Laws, in nature, tell us to recognize him – our inferior, fitted expressly for servitude…You cannot transform the negro into anything one-tenth as useful or as good as what slavery enables them to be.

Never be haughty to the humble or humble to the haughty.

The time for compromise has now passed, and the South is determined to maintain her position, and make all who oppose her smell Southern powder and feel Southern steel.

A question settled by violence, or in disregard of law, must remain unsettled forever.

Governments rest on the consent of the governed, and that it is the right of the people to alter or abolish them at will whenever they become destructive of the ends for which they were established.

Let the gentleman go to Revelation to learn the decree of God – let him go to the Bible. . . . I said that slavery was sanctioned in the Bible, authorized, regulated, and recognized from Genesis to Revelation. . . . Slavery existed then in the earliest ages, and among the chosen people of God; and in Revelation we are told that it shall exist till the end of time shall come. You find it in the Old and New Testaments – in the prophecies, psalms, and the epistles of Paul; you find it recognized – sanctioned everywhere.

Truth crushed to earth is truth still and like a seed will rise again.

Our government is an agency of delegated and strictly limited powers. Its founders did not look to its preservation by force; but the chain they wove to bind these States together was one of love and mutual good offices…

To increase the power, develop the resources and promote the happiness of a Confederacy, it is requisite there should be so much of homogeneity that the welfare of every portion would be the aim of the whole.

I will admit no bond that holds me to a party a day longer than I agree to its principles. When men meet together to confer, and ascertain whether or not they do agree, and find that they differ – radically, essentially, irreconcilably differ – what belongs to an honorable position except to part? They cannot consistently act together any longer.

Truthfulness is a cornerstone in character, and if it be not firmly laid in youth, there will ever after be a weak spot in the foundation.

A people morally and intellectually equal to self-government must also be equal in self-defense.

Obstacles may retard, but they cannot long prevent the progress of a movement sanctioned by its justice and sustained by a virtuous people.

It is not differences of opinion; it is geographical lines, rivers, and mountains which divide State from State, and make different nations of mankind.

The withdrawal of a State from a league has no revolutionary or insurrectionary characteristic. The government of the State remains unchanged as to all internal affairs. It is only its external or confederate relations that are altered. To term this action of a Sovereign a ‘rebellion’ is a gross abuse of language.

Butler is branded a felon, an outlaw, an enemy of Mankind, and so ordered that in the event of his capture, the officer in command of the capturing force do cause him to be immediately executed by hanging.

A restitution of the Union has been rendered forever impossible.

Our armies were in as much chaos in victory as theirs in defeat.

Nothing fills me with deeper sadness than to see a Southerner apologizing for the defense we made of our inheritance.

The time for compromise has now passed, and the South is determined to maintain her position, and make all who oppose her smell Southern powder and feel Southern steel.

I worked night and day for twelve years to prevent the war, but I could not. The North was mad and blind, would not let us govern ourselves, and so the war came.

For an enemy so relentless in the war for our subjugation, we could not be expected to mourn; yet, in view of its political consequences, it could not be regarded otherwise than as a great misfortune for the South.

A question settled by violence, or in disregard of law, must remain unsettled forever.

Jefferson Davis quote: The war…must go on till the last man of this generation falls in…

If you will not have it thus: if in the pride of power, if in contempt of reason and reliance upon force, you say we shall not go, but shall remain as subjects to you, then, gentlemen of the North, a war is to be inaugurated the like of which men have not seen….

Without doing injustice to the living, it may safely be asserted that our loss is irreparable; and that among the shining hosts of the great and good who now cluster around the banner of the country, there exists no purer spirit, no more heroic soul, than that of the illustrious man whose death I join you in lamenting.

Butler is branded a felon, an outlaw, an enemy of Mankind, and so ordered that in the event of his capture, the officer in command of the capturing force do cause him to be immediately executed by hanging.

Sir, it is true that republics have often been cradled in war, but more often they have met with a grave in that cradle. Peace is the interest, the policy, the nature of a popular Government. War may bring benefits to a few, but privation and loss are the lot of the many. An appeal to arms should be the last resort, and only by national rights or national honor can it be justified.

Your little army, derided for its want of arms, derided for its lack of all the essential material of war, has met the grand army of the enemy, routed it at every point, and now it flies, inglorious in retreat before our victorious columns. We have taught them a lesson in their invasion of the sacred soil of Virginia.

For an enemy so relentless in the war for our subjugation, we could not be expected to mourn; yet, in view of its political consequences, it could not be regarded otherwise than as a great misfortune for the South.

Among our neighbors of Central and Southern America, we see the Caucasian mingled with the Indian and the African. They have the forms of free government, because they have copied them. To its benefits they have not attained, because that standard of civilization is above their race. Revolution succeeds Revolution, and the country mourns that some petty chief may triumph, and Through a sixty days’ government ape the rulers of the earth.

We have taught them a lesson in their invasion of the sacred soil of Virginia.

The war…must go on till the last man of this generation falls in his tracks…unless you acknowledge our right to self-government. We are not fighting for slavery. We are fighting for Independence, and that, or extermination, we WILL have.

I tried all in my power to avert this war. I saw it coming, for twelve years I worked night and day to prevent it, but I could not. The North was mad and blind; it would not let us govern ourselves, and so the war came, and now it must go on unless you acknowledge our right to self-government. We are not fighting for slavery.

Nothing fills me with deeper sadness than to see a Southern man apologizing for the defense we made of our inheritance. Our cause was so just, so sacred, that had I known all that has come to pass, had I known what was to be inflicted upon me, all that my country was to suffer, all that our posterity was to endure, I would do it all over again.

Harriet Tubman Quotes

I can’t die but once.

I started with this idea in my head, “There are two things I’ve got a right to, death or liberty.”

I would have been able to free a thousand more slaves if I could only have convinced them that they were slaves.

I would fight for my liberty so long as my strength lasted, and if the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me.

I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other.

I am at peace with God and all mankind.

We saw the lightning and that was the guns and then we heard the thunder and that was the big guns; and then we heard the rain falling and that was the blood falling; and when we came to get in the crops, it was dead men that we reaped.

Marcus Garvey had in their times. We just had a more vulnerable enemy.

I grew up like a neglected weed – ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it.

Lord, I’m going to hold steady on to You and You’ve got to see me through.

I grew up like a neglected weed, ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it. Then I was not happy or contented: every time I saw a white man I was afraid of being carried away.

Most of those coming from the mainland are very destitute, almost naked. I am trying to find places for those able to work, and provide for them as best I can, so as to lighten the burden on the Government as much as possible, while at the same time they learn to respect themselves by earning their own living.

Twant me, ’twas the Lord. I always told him, ‘I trust to you. I don’t know where to go or what to do, but I expect you to lead me,’ and He always did.

If I could have convinced more slaves that they were slaves, I could have freed thousands more.

Pears like I prayed all the time, ’bout my work, everywhere, I prayed an’ groaned to the Lord.

Frederick Douglass Quotes

Did John Brown fail? John Brown began the war that ended American slavery and made this a free Republic.

This war, disguise it as they may, is virtually nothing more or less than perpetual slavery against universal freedoms.

I hear the mournful wail of millions!

I escaped from slavery and became a leading abolitionist and speaker.

Abolition of slavery had been the deepest desire and the great labor of my life

Slaves are generally expected to sing as well as to work.

I have often sung to drown my sorrow, but seldom to express my happiness. Crying for joy, and singing for joy, were alike uncommon to me while in the jaws of slavery. The singing of a man cast away upon a desolate island might be as appropriately considered as evidence of contentment and happiness, as the singing of a slave; the songs of the one and of the other are prompted by the same emotion.

I have observed this in my experience of slavery, that whenever my condition was improved, instead of increasing my contentment; it only increased my desire to be free, and set me thinking of plans to gain my freedom.

It was a glorious resurrection, from the tomb of slavery to the heaven of slavery. My long-crushed spirit rose, cowardice departed, bold defiance took its place; and I now resolved that, however long I might remain a slave in form, the day had passed forever when I could be a slave in fact.

Interpreted as it ought to be interpreted, the Constitution is a glorious liberty document. Read its preamble, consider its purposes. Is slavery among them? Is it at the gateway? or is it in the temple? It is neither.

Every tone was a testimony against slavery and a prayer to God for deliverance from chains.

I was broken in body, soul, and spirit. My natural elasticity was crushed, my intellect languished, the disposition to read departed, the cheerful spark that lingered about my eye died; the dark night of slavery closed in upon me; and behold a man transformed into a brute!

I have observed this in my experience of slavery, – that whenever my condition was improved, instead of its increasing my contentment, it only increased my desire to be free, and set me to thinking of plans to gain my freedom. I have found that, to make a contented slave, it is necessary to make a thoughtless one. It is necessary to darken his moral and mental vision, and, as far as possible, to annihilate the power of reason. He must be able to detect no inconsistencies in slavery; he must be made to feel that slavery is right; and he can be brought to that only when he ceased to be a man.

From my earliest recollection, I date the entertainment of a deep conviction that slavery would not always be able to hold me within its foul embrace; and in the darkest hours of my career in slavery, this living word of faith and spirit of hope departed not from me, but remained like ministering angels to cheer me through the gloom. This good spirit was from God, and to him I offer thanksgiving and praise.

John Brown’s zeal in the cause of freedom was infinitely superior to mine. Mine was as the taper light; his was as the burning sun. I could live for the slave; John Brown could die for him. The American people and the Government at Washington may refuse to recognize it for a time but the inexorable logic of events will force it upon them in the end; that the war now being waged in this land is a war for and against slavery.

Grandmother pointed out my brother Perry, my sister Sarah, and my sister Eliza, who stood in the group. I had never seen my brother nor my sisters before; and, though I had sometimes heard of them, and felt a curious interest in them, I really did not understand what they were to me, or I to them. We were brothers and sisters, but what of that? Why should they be attached to me, or I to them? Brothers and sisters were by blood; but slavery had made us strangers. I heard the words brother and sisters, and knew they must mean something; but slavery had robbed these terms of their true meaning.

When I ran away from slavery, it was for myself; when I advocated emancipation, it was for my people; but when I stood up for the rights of women, self was out of the question, and I found a little nobility in the act.

Rosa Parks Quotes

I believe we are here on the planet Earth to live, grow up and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom.

“It was not pre-arranged. It just happened that the driver made a demand and I just didn’t feel like obeying his demand. I was quite tired after spending a full day working.”

“I do the very best I can to look upon life with optimism and hope and looking forward to a better day, but I don’t think there is anything such as complete happiness. It pains me that there is still a lot of Klan activity and racism. I think when you say you’re happy, you have everything that you need and everything that you want, and nothing more to wish for. I haven’t reached that stage yet.”

“Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today’s mighty oak is yesterday’s nut that held its ground.”

“I’m tired of being treated like a second-class citizen.”

“Each person must live their life as a model for others.”

“Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.”

“Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.”

“All I was doing was trying to get home from work.”

“Why do you all push us around?”

I am a symbol.

Each person must live their life as a model for others.

“My only concern was to get home after a hard day’s work.”

[F]rom the time I was a child, I tried to protest against disrespectful treatment.

I’d see the bus pass every day… But to me, that was a way of life; we had no choice but to accept what was the custom. The bus was among the first ways I realized there was a black world and a white world.

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.

I do the very best I can to look upon life with optimism and hope and looking forward to a better day, but I don’t think there is anything such as complete happiness. It pains me that there is still a lot of Klan activity and racism. I think when you say you’re happy, you have everything that you need and everything that you want, and nothing more to wish for. I haven’t reached that stage yet.
