Booker T. Washington
An ounce of application is worth a ton of abstraction.
Booker T. Washington
Whenever your life touches mine, you make me stronger of weaker... there is no escape... people drag others or lift others up.

Booker T. Washington
We all should rise, above the clouds of ignorance, narrowness, and selfishness.
Booker T. Washington
Too often the educational value of doing well what is done, however little, is overlooked. One thing well done prepares the mind to do the next thing better. Not how much, but how well, should be the motto. One problem thoroughly understood is of more value than a score poorly mastered.
Booker T. Washington
Let our opportunities overshadow our grievances.
Booker T. Washington
Great men cultivate love and only little men cherish a spirit of hatred assistance given to the weak makes the one who gives it strong oppression of the unfortunate makes one weak.
Booker T. Washington
I pity from the bottom of my heart any individual who is so unfortunate as to get into the habit of holding race prejudice, for nothing else makes one so blind and narrow.
Booker T. Washington
There is no defense or security for any of us except in the highest intelligence and development of all.
Booker T. Washington
We shall prosper as we learn to do the common things of life in an uncommon way. Let down your buckets where you are.
Booker T. Washington
No race that has anything to contribute to the markets of the world is long in any degree ostracized.
Booker T. Washington
We must reinforce argument with results.
Booker T. Washington
We must not only become reliable, progressive, skillful and intelligent, but we must keep the idea constantly before our youths that all forms of labor, whether with the hand or head, are honorable.
Booker T. Washington
