Booker T. Washington: “Be sure that the man is there, and if he is, the collars and the cuffs will come in due time.”

By it a race must rise or fall, succeed or fail, and in the last analysis mere sentiment counts for little.

This country demands that every race shall measure itself by the American standard.

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.
