“

I would permit no man, no matter what his colour might be, to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.

— Booker T. Washington

I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him. I shall allow no man to belittle my soul by making me hate him. I let no man drag me down so low as to make me hate him.
