No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.

No race can prosper till it learns there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.

We shall prosper as we learn to do the common things of life in an uncommon way. Let down your buckets where you are.

I have learned 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.

You can't hold a man down without staying down with him.
