Carter G. Woodson People Quotations

The strongest bank in the United States will last only so long as the people will have sufficient confidence in it to keep their money there.

Negro banks, as a rule, have failed because the people, taught that their own pioneers in business cannot function in this sphere, withdrew their deposits.

The large majority of the Negroes who have put on the finishing touches of our best colleges are all but worthless in the development of their people.

For me, education means to inspire people to live more abundantly, to learn to begin with life as they find it and make it better.

In fact, the confidence of the people is worth more than money.

The real servant of the people must live among them, think with them, feel for them, and die for them.
