Booker T. Washington: “The people with whom he lives and works are going to think twice before they part with such a man.”

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.

Despite superficial and temporary signs which might lead one to entertain a contrary opinion, there was never a time when I felt more hopeful for the race than I do at the present.

This problem Harvard University is solving, not by bringing itself down, but by bringing the masses up.
