Booker T. Washington: “The fact that they did not speak the language, nor understand the customs of the people, made their life just so much…”

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

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

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