More quotes by George Washington Carver
Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.
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
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
Let us rejoice at the many unexplored fields in which there is unlimited fame and fortune to the successful explorer . . .
George Washington Carver
The secret of my success? It is simple. It is found in the Bible.
George Washington Carver
You can't teach people anything. You can only draw out.
George Washington Carver

Whatever you love opens its secrets to you.
George Washington Carver
All my life I have risen regularly at four o'clock and have gone into the woods and talked to God. There He gives me my orders for the day.
George Washington Carver
When our thoughts - which bring actions - are filled with hate against anyone, Negro or white, we are in a living hell. That is as real as hell will ever be.
George Washington Carver
I know that my Redeemer lives. Thank God I love humanity, complexion doesn't interest me one single a bit.
George Washington Carver
Since new developments are the products of a creative mind, we must therefore stimulate and encourage that type of mind in every way possible.
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
Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise.
George Washington Carver
There is no shortcut to achievement.
George Washington Carver
Where there is no vision, there is no hope.
George Washington Carver
Fear of something is at the root of hate for others, and hate within will eventually destroy the hater.
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
Most people search high and wide for the key to success. If they only knew, the key to their dreams lies within.
