No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.

I believe that my race will succeed in proportion as it learns to do a common thing in an uncommon manner; learns to do a thing so thoroughly that no one can improve upon what it has done; learns to make its services of indispensable value.

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.

I think I have learned that the best way to lift one's self up is to help someone else.

Living is the art of loving. Loving is the art of caring. Caring is the art of sharing. Sharing is the art of living. If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.

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.
