Perseverance is my motto.

There would be no hair growing business today had I not started it.

You might say that I was the first and caused others to awaken to the sense of their duty in helping deserving causes for the benefit of the race.

I had to make my own living and my own opportunity. But I made it! Don't sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them.

IT'S PRETTY HARD for the Lord TO GUIDE YOU IF YOU HAVEN'T MADE UP YOUR MIND WHICH WAY TO GO.

America doesn't respect anything but money. What our people need is a few millionaires.

Perseverance is my motto.
