Booker T. Washington: “The ones we want are the ones who are going to think of such things as these without being told.”

By it a race must rise or fall, succeed or fail, and in the last analysis mere sentiment counts for little.

This country demands that every race shall measure itself by the American standard.

The more I come into contact with wealthy people, the more I believe that they are growing in the direction of looking upon their money simply as an instrument which God has placed in their hand for doing good with.

In the economy of God there is but one standard by which an individual can succeed—there is but one for a race.
