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.

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

If I have done anything in life worth attention, I feel sure that I inherited the disposition from my mother.

Character is power.

Educated men and women, especially those who are in college, very often get the idea that religion is fit only for the common people. No young man or woman can make a greater error than this.

Decide to be your best. In the long run the world is going to want and have the best and that might as well be you.

You may fill your heads with knowledge or skillfully train your hands, but unless it is based upon high, upright character, upon a true heart, it will amount to nothing. You will be no better than the most ignorant.
