“No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a fi…” — Booker T. Washington

The individual who can do something that the world wants done will, in the end, make his way regardless of his race.

No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.

To hold a man down, you have to stay down with him.

No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts.
