I would permit no man, no matter what his colour might be, to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.

If you truly want to measure the success of a man, you do not measure it by a position he has achieved, but by the obstacles he has overcome.

I shall never permit myself to stoop so low as to hate any man.

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

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

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

The longer I live and the more I study the question, the more I am convinced that it is not so much the problem of what you will do with Negro, as what the Negro will do with you and your 'civilization'.
