Never get to the point where you will be ashamed to ask anybody for information. The ignorant man will always be ignorant if he fears that by asking another for information he will display ignorance. Better once display your ignorance of a certain subject than always know nothing of it.

The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows; it is what the man or woman is able to do that counts.

Let us keep before us the fact that, almost without exception, every race or nation that has ever got upon its feet has done so through struggle and trial and persecution; and that out of this very resistance to wrong, out of the struggle against odds, they have gained strength, self-confidence, and experience which they could not have gained in any other way.

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

Success waits patiently for anyone who has the determination and strength to seize it.
