Booker T. Washington
If you truly want to measure the success of a man, you do not measure it by a position he has achieved, but by the obstacles he has overcome.
Booker T. Washington

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
