Booker T. Washington: “It is much better for a young man to learn to launder his collars himself, than to pretend to the world that he is what…”

Having once got its tentacles fastened on to the economic and social life of the Republic, it was no easy matter for the country to relieve itself of the institution.

I do not know how many have noticed it, but I think that it will be found to be true that there are few instances, either in slavery or freedom, in which a member of my race has been known to betray a specific trust.

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

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