Bob Moses Quote 1
It’s easy to do anything in victory. It’s in defeat that a man reveals himself. — Bob Moses
Bob Moses Quote 2
“Don’t think necessarily of starting a movement. Do what you think actually needs to be done, set an example, and hope your actions will click with someone else.”— Bob Moses
Bob Moses Quote 3
The questions that we think face the country are questions which in one sense are much deeper than civil rights. They’re questions which go very much to the bottom of mankind and people. They’re questions which have repercussions in terms of a whole international affairs and relations. They’re questions which go to the very root of our society. What kind of society will we be? — Bob Moses
