Booker T. Washington: “Make up your minds, whether you are to live in the city or in the country, that you are going to be constantly employed.”

I have great faith in the power and influence of facts.

From any point of view, I had rather be what I am, a member of the Negro race, than be able to claim membership with the most favoured of any other race.

Even to this day I can recall accurately the tortures that I underwent when putting on one of these garments.

I repeat my belief that the world is growing in the direction of giving.
