Quote May Be Spurious Even Though It Is Virtuous.

I haven't been able to find any credible source that supports this attribution. What evidence do we have for attributing this quote to Booker T. Washington?

If (as I suspect) there is no good evidence, what is the earliest source that makes this false attribution?
