Booker T. Washington: “I never feel so hopeful about the race as I do after being engaged in a series of these meetings.”

In one thing, at least, I feel sure that the English are ahead of Americans, and that is, that they have learned how to get more out of life.

I have always looked upon fame as something to be used in accomplishing good.

The English servant expects, as a rule, to be nothing but a servant, and so he perfects himself in the art to a degree that no class of servants in America has yet reached.

I pity the man, black or white, who has never experienced the joy and satisfaction that come to one by reason of an effort to assist in making some one else more useful and more happy.
