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

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 highest test of the civilization of any race is in its willingness to extend a helping hand to the less fortunate.

Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work.

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.

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