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

We shall prosper as we learn to do the common things of life in an uncommon way. Let down your buckets where you are.

Holding a grudge does not hurt the person against whom the grudge is held, it hurts the one who holds it.

To those of my race who depend on bettering their condition in a foreign land or who underestimate the importance of cultivating friendly relations with the Southern white man, who is their next-door neighbor, I would say 'Cast down your bucket where you are.'

Success is not measured by where you are in life, but the obstacles you've over come

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

Success always leaves footprints.
