Marcus Garvey
Image
No race has the last word on culture and on civilization. You do not know what the black man is capable of you do not know what he is thinking and therefore you do not know what the oppressed and suppressed Negro, by virtue of his condition and circumstance, may give to the world as a surprise.
Marcus Garvey
Image
Whatsoever things common to man, that man has done, man can do.
Marcus Garvey
Image
We must give up the silly idea of folding our hands and waiting on God to do everything for us. If God had intended for that, then he would not have given us a mind. Whatever you want in life, you must make up your mind to do it for yourself.
Marcus Garvey
Image
The Black skin is not a badge of shame, but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness.
Marcus Garvey
Image
A man's bread and butter is only insured when he works for it.
Marcus Garvey
