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

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

The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows; it is what the man or woman is able to do that counts.

The man who has learned to do something better than anyone else, has learned to do a common thing in an uncommon manner, is the man who has a power and influence that no adverse circumstances can take from him.

Dignify and glorify common labor. It is at the bottom of life that we must begin, not at the top.

No white American ever thinks that any other race is wholly civilized until he wears the white man’s clothes, eats the white man’s food, speaks the white man’s language, and professes the white man’s religion.

You must understand the troubles of that man farthest down before you can help him.
