Quotes from Booker T Washington
Categories: Quotes by Booker T Washington
I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.
There is no power on earth that can neutralize the influence of a high, simple and useful life.
No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.
Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work.
I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed.
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Character is power.
Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company.
No race can prosper 'till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.
You can`t hold a man down without staying down with him.
