| Few things help an individual more than to place responsibility upon him, and to let him know that you trust him. I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him. If they really believe there is danger from the Negro, it must be because they do not intend to give him justice. In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress. There are two ways of exerting one's strength: one is pushing down, the other is pulling up. You can't hold a man down without staying down with him. |
