More quotes by George Washington Carver
You can't tear up everything just to get the dollar out of it without suffering as result. It is a travesty to burn our woods and thereby burn up the fertilizer nature has provided for us. We must enrich our soil every year instead of merely depleting it. It is fundamental that nature will drive away those who commit sin against it.
George Washington Carver
Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise.
George Washington Carver
I found that when I talk to the little flower or to the little peanut they will give up their secrets . . .
George Washington Carver
Without my Savior, I am nothing.

George Washington Carver
We get closer to God as we get more intimately and understandingly acquainted with the things He has created. I know of nothing more inspiring than that of making discoveries for one's self.
George Washington Carver
If you listen carefully enough to anything, it will talk to you.
George Washington Carver
The beating on the tail of the snake may stop his progress a little, but the more vital parts must be struck before his poisonous death-dealing venom will be wiped out.
George Washington Carver
There are two ways, one is right the other is wrong. If your work is only about right, then it is wrong.
George Washington Carver
God gave them [the discoveries] to me how can I sell them to someone else?
George Washington Carver
You can't teach people anything. You can only draw out.
George Washington Carver
