Booker T. Washington: “No individual should feel satisfied until he has a comfortable home.”

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

I have never seen one who did not want to be free, or one who would return to slavery.

I never saw a man who so completely lost sight of himself.

The picture of several dozen boys and girls in a schoolroom engaged in study made a deep impression upon me, and I had the feeling that to get into a schoolhouse and study in this way would be about the same as getting into paradise.
