More quotes by Booker T. Washington
A sure way for one to lift himself up is by helping to lift someone else.
Booker T. Washington
Remember that everyone's life is measured by the power that individual has to make the world better-this is all life is.
Booker T. Washington
The Negro is not the man farthest down. The condition of the coloured farmer in the most backward parts of the Southern States of America, even where he has the least education and the least encouragement, is incomparably better than the condition and opportunities of the agricultural population in Sicily.
Booker T. Washington
The time will come when the Negro in the South will be accorded all the political rights which his ability, character, and material possessions entitle him to.
Booker T. Washington
We must reinforce argument with results.
Booker T. Washington
Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.
Booker T. Washington
Political activity alone cannot make a man free. Back of the ballot, he must have property, industry, skill, economy, intelligence, and character.
Booker T. Washington
My whole life has largely been one of surprises.
Booker T. Washington
You go to school, you study about the Germans and the French, but not about your own race. I hope the time will come when you study black history too.
Booker T. Washington
Great men cultivate love...only little men cherish a spirit of hatred
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
Don't ever let them pull you down so low as to hate them. (also cited as: I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.)
Booker T. Washington
I think I have learned, in some degree at least, to disregard the old maxim Do not get others to do what you can do yourself. My motto on the other hand is Do not do that which others can do as well.
Booker T. Washington
I early learned that it is a hard matter to convert an individual by abusing him, and that this is more often accomplished by giving credit for all the praiseworthy actions performed than by calling attention alone to all the evil done.
Booker T. Washington
Success is not measured by where you are in life, but the obstacles you've over come
Booker T. Washington
I let no man drag me down so low as to make me hate him.
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
Leaders have devoted themselves to politics, little knowing, it seems that political independence disappears without economic independence that economic independence is the foundation of political independence.
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
I learned the lesson that great men cultivate love, and that only little men cherish a spirit of hatred. I resolved then that I would permit no man, no matter what his color, to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.
Booker T. Washington
