Remember that everyone's life is measured by the power that individual has to make the world better-this is all life is.

In proportion as one renders service he becomes great.

I never liked the atmosphere of Washington . I early saw that it was impossible to build up a race of which the leaders were spending most of their time, thought and energy in trying to get into office, or in trying to stay there after they were in.

If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.

There is a certain class of race problem-solvers who don't want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.

Mere connection with what is known as a superior race will not permanently carry an individual forward unless the individual has worth.

Each one should remember there is a chance for him.
