Booker T. Washington: “On every side our lives touch those of others; their lives touch ours.”

I was supremely happy in the opportunity of being able to assist somebody else.

When persons ask me in these days how, in the midst of what sometimes seem hopelessly discouraging conditions, I can have such faith in the future of my race in this country, I remind them of the wilderness through which and out of which…

From the time that I can remember anything, almost every day of my life had been occupied in some kind of labour; though I think I would now be a more useful man if I had had time for sports.

Before the end of the year, I think I began learning that those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.
