Life is a succession of lessons, which must be lived to be understood.

“Take it easy — but take it.”

Success is not about seeking constant external approval; it's about staying true to your purpose and making a difference in the lives of others.

Run your race with arms wide open toward faith and hope.

I never worry about the future. It comes soon enough.

I am not in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people.

“The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.”
