Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.

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

Each one should remember there is a chance for him.

The longer I live and the more experience I have of the world, the more I am convinced that, after all, the one thing that is most worth living for-and dying for, if need be-is the opportunity of making someone else more happy.

At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence.

The longer I live and the more I study the question, the more I am convinced that it is not so much the problem of what you will do with Negro, as what the Negro will do with you and your 'civilization'.

A life is not worth much of which it cannot be said, when it comes to its close, that it was helpful to humanity.
