More from Madam C.J. Walker
"There is no royal flower-strewn path to success. And if there is, I have not found it, for whatever success I have attained has been the result of much hard work and many sleepless nights."
"I had to go down and dignify this work, so much so that many of the best women of our race are now engaged in this line of business, and many of them are now in my employ."
"I am not ashamed of my past. I am not ashamed of my humble beginning."
"I had to make my own living and my own opportunity. But I made it!"
"My message is for everyone, not just my race."
