आप हार नहीं मान सकते। कभी-कभी आप गिर जाते हैं, लेकिन आपको फिर से उठना होगा और संघर्ष करना होगा। आपको अपने पीछे आने वालों के बारे में भी सोचना होगा। और आपको उस मिसाल के बारे में भी सोचना होगा जो आप दूसरों के सामने रखते हैं।
You can't give up. Sometimes you get knocked down, but you have to get back up, fighting. You have to think about the others who come behind you as well. And you have to think of the example that you set for others.

आपको लोगों के पास सच्चाई, प्रेम और जो सही है उसके साथ जाना चाहिए। मैं सच्चाई को सामने लाने के लिए दृढ़ संकल्पित थी क्योंकि मैं जानती थी कि सच्चाई ही मुझे आज़ाद करेगी।
You have to approach people with the truth and with love, and with what's right. I was determined to get the truth out because I knew that the truth would set me free.

पारंपरिक खेती, मूँगफली, कपास, मक्का, शायद अब करने लायक नहीं है, क्योंकि आपका मुकाबला उन बड़े किसानों से है जो उस तरह की फसलें उगाने के लिए सभी उपकरणों का खर्च उठा सकते हैं। लेकिन हमें पौष्टिक भोजन की आवश्यकता है। हमें ज़्यादा सब्ज़ियाँ खाने के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया जा रहा है। हमारी स्कूल प्रणालियों को स्थानीय स्तर पर सामान खरीदने के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया जा रहा है। इसलिए, हमें ऐसे किसानों की ज़रूरत है जो वह खाना पैदा कर सकें।
The traditional farm, the peanuts, the cotton, the corn, is probably not the thing to do, because you're up against big farmers who can afford all the equipment to grow those kinds of crops. But we need healthy food. We're being encouraged to eat more vegetables. Our school systems are being encouraged to buy locally. So, we need farmers who can produce that food.

मुझे दूसरे लोगों की मदद करना बहुत पसंद है। जब मैंने दक्षिण में ही रहकर बदलाव के लिए काम करने का संकल्प लिया, तो इसका मतलब था कि मैंने अपना पूरा जीवन दूसरों की सेवा करने और उनकी मदद करने के लिए समर्पित कर दिया है। मुझे तब बहुत सुकून मिलता है जब मुझे पता चलता है कि मैंने किसी का खेत बचा लिया है, या किसी परिवार को घर दिलाने या लोन दिलवाने में मदद की है। या जब मैं युवाओं को यह समझाने में कामयाब होती हूँ कि ज़िंदगी में सिर्फ अपने लिए ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा पैसे कमाने के अलावा भी बहुत कुछ है।
I love helping other people. When I made a commitment to stay in the South, to work for change, it meant devoting my life to working for and helping others. I feel good when I know that I've saved someone's farm, or helped a family to get a home or access to credit. Or when I can get young people to see that there's more to life than just trying to make the biggest dollar for yourself.

मेरी कामना है कि किसी तरह, किसी भी तरह हम इस देश में एक साथ मिलकर रहना सीख सकें।
I wish that somehow, some way we could learn to live together in this country.

व्यवस्था जिस तरह की थी, उसमें एक इंसान के रूप में मैं क्या कर सकती थी, सिवाय इसके कि मैं अपना जीवन इसे बदलने के संघर्ष में समर्पित कर देती? यदि मैंने अपने मन में नफरत को घर करने दिया होता, तो शायद मैं आज जीवित भी न होती, क्योंकि वह नफरत मुझे अंदर से खत्म कर देती। उस नफरत ने मुझे इस बात के प्रति अंधा कर दिया होता कि मैं बदलाव लाने में क्या योगदान दे सकती हूँ। जब आप नफरत में डूबे हों और किसी और को बर्बाद करने पर तुले हों, तो आप स्पष्ट रूप से सोच नहीं सकते। इसके बजाय, मैंने एक ऐसी व्यवस्था को नष्ट करने की ठान ली थी जो हम सभी के लिए निष्पक्ष नहीं थी, और मैं आज भी वही कर रही हूँ।
Given the way the system was, what could I do as I one person, other than devote my life to fighting to make it different? If I had allowed myself to be filled with hate, I probably wouldn't even be alive, because that hate could've killed me. That hate would've blinded me to my contributions in terms of how I could make a difference. You can't think straight when you're consumed by hate and focused on destroying someone else. Instead, I was bent on trying to destroy a system that was not fair to all of us, and I continue to do that.

मैं सिर्फ एक मोहरा हूँ। मैं तो बस यहाँ थी। वे किसी बड़ी चीज़ के पीछे हैं, वे हमें उस दौर में वापस ले जाना चाहते हैं जहाँ हम कई साल पहले हुआ करते थे। उस दौर में जहाँ अश्वेत लोग नज़रें झुकाकर रहते थे, गोरे लोगों की आँखों में आँखें डालकर नहीं देख पाते थे, बाहर नौकरी के लिए मुकाबला नहीं कर पाते थे और एक संपूर्ण इंसान नहीं बन पाते थे।
I am just a pawn. I was just here. They are after a bigger thing, they would love to take us back to where we were many years ago. Back to where black people were looking down, not looking white folks in the face, not being able to compete for a job out there and not be a whole person.

हमारे पास ज़मींदार हैं, छोटे किसान हैं। ऐसे लोग हैं जो उस ज़मीन को सहेज कर रखे हुए हैं जिसे उनके परिवारों ने गुलामी के बाद हासिल किया था। उन्हें हमारे द्वारा खाए जाने वाले कुछ खाद्य पदार्थों का उत्पादन करने की आवश्यकता है, ताकि वे कर (टैक्स) चुका सकें और संपत्ति को अपने पास रख सकें। टैक्स लगातार बढ़ रहे हैं। हम, और हमारे कहने का मतलब अश्वेत लोगों से है, तेज़ी से भूमिहीन होते जा रहे हैं। हमारे पूर्वजों ने गुलामी से बाहर निकलकर 15 मिलियन एकड़ से अधिक ज़मीन हासिल की थी। आज, हम शायद 2 मिलियन एकड़ से भी कम पर सिमट गए हैं।
We have landowners, small growers. We have people who are holding onto land that was acquired by their families after slavery. They need to produce some of the food we eat, so they can pay the taxes and hold onto the property. Taxes keep going up. We, and by we I mean black people, are rapidly becoming a landless people. Our ancestors, coming out of slavery, acquired more than 15 million acres of land. Today, we're probably down to less than 2 million acres.

जब मैं आईने में देखती हूँ तो मुझे एक ऐसा इंसान दिखाई देता है जो अब उम्रदराज हो रहा है, और एक ऐसा इंसान जिसने बहुत साल पहले किए गए अपने वादे को निभाया है, और जो आज युवा महिलाओं के सामने एक मिसाल बनने की कोशिश कर रहा है।
When I look in the mirror I see someone who's aging now, and someone who kept a commitment made many, many years ago, and who today is trying to be an example for young women.

यदि आप सरकारी सेवा में सिर्फ पैसों के लिए हैं, तो आप जीवित रहने के लिए वह सब करेंगे जो आपको करना पड़े। लेकिन यदि आप सही काम करने के लिए इस क्षेत्र में हैं, तो इसका मतलब यह हो सकता है कि आप वहाँ ज़्यादा देर टिक न सकें, कम से कम तब आप यह तो कह सकेंगे कि, "जब मैं वहाँ था, मैंने वही किया जो सही था।"
If you're in government service for the money, then you'll do what you have to do to survive. But if you're in it to do the right thing, then it might mean that you won't get to stay there, but at least you can say, "I did what was right while I was there."

मैं एक खेत में पली-बढ़ी और, अपने पिता की हत्या से पहले, मैं खेत से दूर जाना चाहती थी, और दक्षिण जॉर्जिया से दूर जाना चाहती थी जहाँ जिम क्रो कानून हमारे द्वारा की जाने वाली हर छोटी-बड़ी चीज़ को पूरी तरह से नियंत्रित करते थे। इसलिए, मेरा लक्ष्य हाई स्कूल की पढ़ाई पूरी करते ही वहाँ से चले जाना था। लेकिन मेरे पिता की हत्या की रात, मैंने एक संकल्प लिया कि मैं दक्षिण को नहीं छोड़ूंगी, कि मैं यहीं रहूंगी और अपना जीवन बदलाव के लिए काम करने में समर्पित कर दूंगी। इसलिए, मेरे पिता की हत्या ने आज के दिन तक मेरे जीवन की दिशा को तय किया है।
I grew up on a farm and, prior to my father's murder, I wanted to get away from the farm, and away from South Georgia where the Jim Crow laws absolutely controlled anything and everything we did. So, my goal was to leave once I completed high school. But on the night of my father's murder, I made a commitment that I would not leave the South, that I would stay and devote my life to working for change. So, my father's murder has shaped the course of my life even up to this very day.

श्री ब्राइटबार्ट के निधन की खबर आज सुबह जब मुझे मिली तो यह मेरे लिए एक चौंकाने वाली बात थी। मेरी संवेदनाएं श्री ब्राइटबार्ट के परिवार के साथ हैं जो इस बेहद कठिन समय का सामना कर रहे हैं।
The news of Mr. Breitbart’s death came as a surprise to me when I was informed of it this morning. My prayers go out to Mr. Breitbart’s family as they cope during this very difficult time.

अपनी इस मुश्किल घड़ी की पराकाष्ठा के दौरान भी मैं ओबामा प्रशासन की समर्थक बनी रही। बहुत सी ऐसी चीज़ें हैं जो वह अलग तरीके से कर सकते थे, लेकिन उन्होंने जो करने की कोशिश की, उसमें से ज़्यादातर को रिपब्लिकन पदधारियों द्वारा रोक दिया गया। मुझे लगता है कि थोड़े और समर्थन से वह एक बहुत बेहतर राष्ट्रपति साबित हो सकते थे। इसलिए, मैं अब भी उनका समर्थन करती हूँ।
I've remained a supporter of the Obama administration, even at the height of my ordeal. There's a lot that he could do differently, but so much of what he's tried to do has been blocked by the Republican officeholders. I think that he could have been a much better president with more support. So, I'm still supportive of him.

मैं दुनिया को यह बताना चाहती हूँ कि शर्ली शेररॉड एक ऐसा इंसान है जो दूसरों की मदद करने के लिए पूरी तरह समर्पित है। मुझे लोगों से प्यार है, और मुझे ऐसे काम करना पसंद है जो बदलाव लाते हैं।
I want the world to know that Shirley Sherrod is someone who is committed to helping others. I love people, and I love doing things that make a difference.

डॉ. किंग लंबे समय से मेरे आदर्श रहे हैं। मुझे उनके साथ ज़्यादा काम करने का मौका नहीं मिला, लेकिन शुरुआती दौर में मेरे पति ने उनके साथ काम किया था। डॉ. किंग ने वास्तव में सभी के संघर्ष के लिए अपना जीवन समर्पित कर दिया था। और वह अहिंसा में विश्वास रखते थे। भगवान की शिक्षाओं का पालन करते हुए, मैंने अपने जीवन और अपने काम में यही करने की कोशिश की है।
Dr. King has long been my hero. I didn't get to work with him much, but my husband did in the early years. Dr. King gave his life, really, to the struggle for everyone. And he believed in non-violence. That's what I've tried to do in terms of my life and my work, following the teachings of God.
