Mere connection with what is known as a superior race will not permanently carry an individual forward unless the individual has worth.

No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.

We all should rise, above the clouds of ignorance, narrowness, and selfishness.

One man cannot hold another man down in the ditch without remaining down in the ditch with him.

No race that has anything to contribute to the markets of the world is long in any degree ostracized.

Mere connection with what is known as a superior race will not permanently carry an individual forward unless the individual has worth.

I believe that any man's life will be filled with constant and unexpected encouragement, if he makes up his mind to do his level best each day, and as nearly as possible reaching the high-water mark of pure and useful living.
