Hypocrites in the Church? Yes, and in the lodge and at the home. Don't hunt through the Church for a hypocrite. Go home and look in the mirror. Hypocrites? Yes. See that you make the number one less.

Open your eyes and look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're livin'.

You have to be someone.

You can't run away from yourself !!

At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence.

At Hampton I not only learned that it was not a disgrace to labour, but learned to love labour, not alone for its financial value, but for labour's own sake and for the independence and self-reliance which the ability to do something which the world wants done brings. At that institution I got my first taste of what it meant to live a life of unselfishness, my first knowledge of the fact that the happiest individuals are those who do the most to make others useful and happy.

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

My experience teaches me that if a man has little or no influence with those by whose side he lives, as a rule there is something wrong with him.

There are some things that one individual can do for another, and there are some things that one race can do for another. But, on the whole, every individual and every race must work out its own salvation.

The effect of this movement, or revolution, as I have called it, is not to "tear down and level up" in order to bring about an artificial equality, but to give every individual a chance "to make good," to determine for himself his place and position in the community by the character and quality of the service he is able to perform.
