Booker T. Washington: “Our people spend thousands of dollars every year for this cheap jewellery.”

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

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

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