Never let your work drive you. Master it and keep it in complete control.

The individual who can do something that the world wants done will, in the end, make his way regardless of his race.

Those who have accomplished the greatest results are those...who never grow excited or lose self-control, but are always calm, self-possessed, patient and polite.

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

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

I believe that one always does himself and his audience an injustice when he speaks merely for the sake of speaking. I do not believe that one should speak unless, deep down in his heart, he feels convinced that he has a message to deliver.

I pity from the bottom of my heart any individual who is so unfortunate as to get into the habit of holding race prejudice, for nothing else makes one so blind and narrow.
