No race that has anything to contribute to the markets of the world is long in any degree ostracized.
Booker T. Washington
Start where you are with what you have, knowing that what you have is plenty enough.
Booker T. Washington
We must reinforce argument with results.
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.

The highest test of the civilization of any race is in its willingness to extend a helping hand to the less fortunate.
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
A sure way for one to lift himself up is by helping to lift someone else.
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 have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed.
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
An inch of progress is worth more than a yard of complaint.
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
Success is not measured by where you are in life, but the obstacles you've over come
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
There is no power on earth that can neutralize the influence of a high, simple and useful life.
Booker T. Washington
Do not do that which others can do as well.
Booker T. Washington
Men may make laws to hinder and fetter the ballot, but men cannot make laws that will bind or retard the growth of manhood.
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
I let no man drag me down so low as to make me hate him.
Booker T. Washington
