George Washington Carver on the Origin of 99% of Failures

Today is the birthday of George Washington Carver, the US agricultural chemist (1864-1903) who said:
Fear of something is at the root of hate for others, and hate within will eventually destroy the hater.

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 strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.

Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

Since new developments are the products of a creative mind, we must therefore stimulate and encourage that type of mind in every way possible.
