More quotes by Booker T. Washington
We must reinforce argument with results.
Booker T. Washington
No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.
Booker T. Washington
Think about it: we went into slavery pagans we came out Christians. We went into slavery pieces of property we came out American citizens. We went into slavery with chains clanking about our wrists we came out with the American ballot in our hands.
Booker T. Washington
We don't just borrow words on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.
Booker T. Washington
...those who are guilty of such sweeping criticisms [of the rich] do not know how many people would be made poor, and how much sufering would result, if wealthy people were to part all at once with any large proportion of their wealth in a way to disorganize and cripple great business enterprises.
Booker T. Washington
Most leaders spend time trying to get others to think highly of them, when instead they should try to get their people to think more highly of themselves. It's wonderful when the people believe in their leader. It's more wonderful when the leader believes in their people! You can't hold a man down without staying down with him.
Booker T. Washington
Success is not measured by where you are in life, but the obstacles you've over come
Booker T. Washington
You can't hold a man down without staying down with him.
Booker T. Washington
Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.
Booker T. Washington
In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.
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
An ounce of application is worth a ton of abstraction.
Booker T. Washington
The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows it is what the man or woman is able to do that counts.
Booker T. Washington
My whole life has largely been one of surprises.
Booker T. Washington
A life is not worth much of which it cannot be said, when it comes to its close, that it was helpful to humanity.
Booker T. Washington
The actual sight of a first-class house that a Negro has built is ten times more potent than pages of discussion about a house that he ought to build, or perhaps could build.
Booker T. Washington
In the long run, the world is going to have the best, and any difference in race, religion, or previous history will not keep the world from what it wants.
Booker T. Washington
The happiest people are those who do the most for others. The most miserable are those who do the least.
Booker T. Washington
From some things that I have said one may get the idea that some of the slaves did not want freedom. This is not true. I have never seen one who did not want to be free, or one who would return to slavery.
Booker T. Washington
Success waits patiently for anyone who has the determination and strength to seize it.
Booker T. Washington
