Famous quotes containing the words success and/or stories:
“Much of the success of life depends upon keeping one’s mind open to opportunity and seizing it when it comes.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
“We live in a highly industrialized society and every member of the Black nation must be as academically and technologically developed as possible. To wage a revolution, we need competent teachers, doctors, nurses, electronics experts, chemists, biologists, physicists, political scientists, and so on and so forth. Black women sitting at home reading bedtime stories to their children are just not going to make it.”
—Frances Beale, African American feminist and civil rights activist. The Black Woman, ch. 14 (1970)
