More quotes by Booker T. Washington
Character is power.
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
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
I pity from the bottom of my heart any nation or body of people that is so unfortunate as to get entangled in the net of slavery.
Booker T. Washington
Let our opportunities overshadow our grievances.
Booker T. Washington
No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.
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
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 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
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
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
An ounce of application is worth a ton of abstraction.
Booker T. Washington
A race, like an individual, lifts itself up by lifting others up.
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
Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.
Booker T. Washington
Success always leaves footprints.
Booker T. Washington
We all should rise, above the clouds of ignorance, narrowness, and selfishness.
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
Every person who has grown to any degree of usefulness, every person who has grown to distinction, almost without exception has been a person who has risen by overcoming obstacles, by removing difficulties, by resolving that when he met discouragement he would not give up.
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
