Inspiration

While reading a book this morning, I came across some amazing quotes by an inspiring man; Booker T. Washington. Before anything even approaching civil rights (in the US) came to be, this African-American man (born into slavery in 1856) worked to improve race relations in the States. Here are 2 of the statements that inspired me: "One man cannot hold another man down in the ditch without remaining down in the ditch with him", and "Most leaders spend time trying to get others to think highly of them, when instead they should try to get their people to think highly of themselves". There were many more, but I wanted to share those with you.
