“There is no power on earth, that can neutralize the influence of a high,
pure, simple and useful life.”—African-American educator, author and orator
Booker T. Washington (1856-1915), "The Virtue of Simplicity," from Character
Building: Being Addresses Delivered on Sunday Evenings to the Students of
Tuskegee Institute (1902)
