 | Quotes by George Washington Carver |
| “ | Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough. Not only have I found that when I talk to the little flower or to the little peanut they will give up their secrets, but I have found that when I silently commune with people they give up their secrets also - if you love them enough. | ” |
| “ | How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong -- because someday you will have been all of these. | ” |
| “ | Ninety-nine percent of all failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses. | ” |
| “ | One of the things that has helped me as much as any other, is not how long I am going to live, but how much I can do while living. | ” |
| “ | When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world. | ” |
