Then very few persons have any idea of the large number of applications for help that rich people are constantly being flooded with. - Booker T. Washington

In my contact with people, I find that, as a rule, it is only the little, narrow people who live for themselves, who never read good books, who do not travel, who never open up their souls in a way to permit them to come into contact with other souls – with the great outside world.

I have begun everything with the idea that I could succeed, and I never had much patience with the multitudes of people who are always ready to explain why one cannot succeed.

I will permit no man to narrow & degrade my sould by making me hate him.
