: How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.
Quote, George Washington Carver, Inventor, Educator and Agricultural Researcher, known for his work with products using peanuts, 1864-1943
Agricultural chemist, George Washington Carver discovered three hundred uses for peanuts and hundreds more uses for soybeans, pecans and sweet potatoes. He start popularizing uses for peanut products including peanut butter, paper, ink, and oils beginning in 1880. The most famous of Carver's research took place after he arrived in Tuskeegee in 1896. However, Carver did not patent peanut butter as he believed food products were all gifts from God. The 1880 date precedes all [eanut butter inventors, except the Incas, who were first. It was Carver who made peanuts a significant crop in the American South in the early 1900's.
