Quote by Booker T. Washington (1856-1915)

• If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.

• We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.

• Character, not circumstances, makes the man.

• Few things can help an individual more than to place responsibility on him, and to let him know that you trust him.

• The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows; it is what a man or woman is able to do that counts.

• I have learnt 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 overcome while trying to succeed.
