Booker T. Washington: “I want you to see, as I think you will see, that having a hard time, running up against difficulties here and there…”

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

I think I never saw a community of people so happy over anything as were the coloured people over the prospect of this new building.

I have great faith in the power and influence of facts.

I can scarcely imagine any torture, except, perhaps, the pulling of a tooth, that is equal to that caused by putting on a new flax shirt for the first time.
