Start where you are with what you have, knowing that what you have is plenty enough.

The circumstances that surround a man's life are not important. How that man responds to those circumstances IS IMPORTANT. His response is the ultimate determining factor between success and failure.

Booker Washington 160 quotes

No white American ever thinks ...

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.

It means a great deal, I think, to start off on a foundation which one has made for oneself.

Booker Washington 160 quotes

Great men cultivate love and o...

Great men cultivate love and only little men cherish a spirit of hatred; assistance given to the weak makes the one who gives it strong; oppression of the unfortunate makes one weak.

Booker Washington 160 quotes

The happiest people are those ...

The happiest people are those who do the most for others. The most miserable are those who do the least.

Booker Washington 160 quotes

The thing to do when one feels...

The thing to do when one feels sure that he has said or done the right thing and is condemned, is to stand still and keep quiet. If he is right, time will show it.

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.

Booker Washington 160 quotes

The Negro is not the man farth...

The Negro is not the man farthest down. The condition of the coloured farmer in the most backward parts of the Southern States of America, even where he has the least education and the least encouragement, is incomparably better than the condition and opportunities of the agricultural population in Sicily.

Booker Washington 160 quotes

The longer I live and the more...

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'.

Booker Washington 160 quotes

Most leaders spend time trying...

Most leaders spend time trying to get others to think highly of them, when instead they should try to get their people to think more highly of themselves. It's wonderful when the people believe in their leader. It's more wonderful when the leader believes in their people! You can't hold a man down without staying down with him.

Booker Washington 160 quotes

We all should rise, above the clouds of ignorance, narrowness, and selfishness.

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

An ounce of application is worth a ton of abstraction.

Booker Washington 160 quotes

To those of my race who depend...

To those of my race who depend on bettering their condition in a foreign land or who underestimate the importance of cultivating friendly relations with the Southern white man, who is their next-door neighbor, I would say 'Cast down your bucket where you are.'

Booker Washington 160 quotes

If no other consideration had convinced me of the value of the Christian life, the Christ like work which the Church of all denominations in America has done during the last 35 years for the elevation of the black man would have made me a Christian.

If you truly want to measure the success of a man, you do not measure it by a position he has achieved, but by the obstacles he has overcome.

Booker Washington 160 quotes

Do not do that which others can do as well.

Booker Washington 160 quotes

Never get to the point where you will be ashamed to ask anybody for information. The ignorant man will always be ignorant if he fears that by asking another for information he will display ignorance. Better once display your ignorance of a certain subject than always know nothing of it.

Ignorance is more costly to any State than education.
