“ Invest in the human soul. Who knows, it might be a diamond in the rough. ”
To those of you with your years of service still ahead, the challenge is yours. Stop doubting yourselves. Have the courage to make up your minds and hold your decisions. Refuse to be BOUGHT for a nickel, or a million dollars, or a job!
~ Mary Mcleod Bethune
The drums of Africa still beat in my heart. They will not let me rest while there is a single Negro boy or girl without a chance to prove his worth.
I plunged into the job of creating something from nothing. ... Though I hadn't a penny left I considered cash money as the smallest part of my resources. I had faith in a living God faith in myself and a desire to serve.
Without faith nothing is possible. With it nothing is impossible.
