There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.

A sure way for one to lift himself up is by helping to lift someone else.

There is no escape - man drags man down, or man lifts man up.

There is no power on earth that can neutralize the influence of a high, simple and useful life.

The happiest people are those who do the most for others. The most miserable are those who do the least.

I let no man drag me down so low as to make me hate him.

You must understand the troubles of that man farthest down before you can help him.
