Legal rights matter, but being prepared to exercise them matters far more
Drawn from what Booker T. Washington said
What Booker T. Washington actually said
- Booker T. Washington American educator, author and orator (1856 to 1915)
It is important and right that all privileges of the law be ours, but it is vastly more important that we be prepared for the exercises of these privileges. The opportunity to earn a dollar in a factory just now is worth infinitely more than the opportunity to spend a dollar in an opera-house.
