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
I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.
George Washington Carver
Young people, I want to beg of you always keep your eyes open to what Mother Nature has to teach you. By so doing you will learn many valuable things every day of your life.
George Washington Carver
It is not the style of clothes one wears, neither the kind of automobile one drives, nor the amount of money one has in the bank, that counts. These mean nothing. It is simply service that measures success.
George Washington Carver
We have become ninety-nine percent money mad. The method of living at home modestly and within our income, laying a little by systematically for the proverbial rainy day which is due to come, can almost be listed among the lost arts.
George Washington Carver
God gave them [the discoveries] to me how can I sell them to someone else?
George Washington Carver
There is literally nothing that I ever asked to do, that I asked the blessed Creator to help me to do, that I have not been able to accomplish.
George Washington Carver
There is no short cut to achievement. Life requires thorough preparation - veneer isn't worth anything.
George Washington Carver
If you listen carefully enough to anything, it will talk to you.
George Washington Carver
Education is understanding relationships.
George Washington Carver
I think I'll sleep now.
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
There is a use for almost everything.
George Washington Carver
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.
George Washington Carver
Fear of something is at the root of hate for others, and hate within will eventually destroy the hater. Keep your thoughts free from hate, and you need have no fear from those who hate you.
George Washington Carver
There is no shortcut to achievement.
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
Education, in the broadest of truest sense, will make an individual seek to help all people, regardless of race, regardless of color, regardless of condition.
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
Look about you. Take hold of the things that are here. Let them talk to you. You learn to talk to them.
George Washington Carver
