Marcus Garvey

Our success educationally, industrially and politically is based upon the protection of a nation founded by ourselves. And the nation can be nowhere else but in Africa.

Men who are in earnest are not afraid of consequences.

Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men.

There is no force like success, and that is why the individual makes all effort to surround himself throughout life with the evidence of it as of the individual, so should it be of the nation.

If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life.

Chance has never yet satisfied the hope of a suffering people.

Africa for the Africans... at home and abroad!

A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.

I have no desire to take all black people back to Africa there are blacks who are no good here and will likewise be no good there.

God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.
