How our race troubles would disappear if the dominant Saxon would but obey, in his treatment of the weaker races, the authority of the fundamental laws on which his own institutions rest! The problem of to-day is not how to convert the heathen from heathenism, it is how to convert the Christian from heathenism; not to teach the physician to heal the patient, but to heal himself.

The Indian problem is not chiefly how to teach the Indian to be less savage in his treatment of the Saxon, but the Saxon to be less savage in his treatment of the Indian.
The Chinese problem is not how to keep Chinese laborers out of California, but how to keep Chinese politics out of Congress.
The negro question will be settled when the education of the white man is complete.
We make every allowance for ourselves.

We expect mankind to make every allowance for us.

We expect to be forgiven for our own wrong-doing.

We easily forgive our own white fellow citizens for the unutterable and terrible cruelties they have committed on men of other races.
