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
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
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
A race, like an individual, lifts itself up by lifting others up.
Booker T. Washington
