Quote by Booker T. Washington (1856-1915)

• 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.

• 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.

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

• 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.

• I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.
