Booker T. Washington: “I was supremely happy in the opportunity of being able to assist somebody else.”

I think that the presentation of facts, on a high, dignified plane, is all the begging that most rich people care for.

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

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 think I never saw a community of people so happy over anything as were the coloured people over the prospect of this new building.
