In proportion as one renders service he becomes great.

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

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.

A race, like an individual, lifts itself up by lifting others up.

If you can't read, it's going to be hard to realize dreams.

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

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