More quotes by Marcus Garvey

Image
History teaches us no race, no people, no nation has ever been freed through cowardice, through cringing, through bowing and scraping, but all that has been achieved to the glory of mankind, to the glory and honour of races and nations was through the manly determination and effort of those who lead and those who are led.
Marcus Garvey
Image
The greatest possesion of man is character
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
There is nothing in the world common to man, that man cannot do.
Marcus Garvey
Image
If I die in Atlanta my work shall then only begin, but I shall live, in the physical or spiritual to see the day of Africa’s glory.
Marcus Garvey
Image
Let us not try to be the best or worst of others, but let us make the effort to be the best of ourselves.
Marcus Garvey
Image
Unite all people of African ancestry of the world to one great body to establish a country and absolute government of their own.

Look to Africa, for there a king will be crowned.
Marcus Garvey
Image
The history of a movement, the history of a nation, the history of a race is the guide-post of that movement's destiny, that nation's destiny, that race's destiny.
Marcus Garvey
Image
Slavery is a condition imposed upon individuals or races not sufficiently able to protect or defend themselves, and so long as a race or people expose themselves to the danger of being weak, no one can tell when they will be reduced to slavery.
Marcus Garvey
Image
The pen is mightier than the sword, but the tongue is mightier than them both put together.
Marcus Garvey
Image
Lift up yourselves, men, take yourselves out of the mire and hitch your hopes to the very stars themselves. Let no man pull you down, let no man destroy your ambition, because man is but your companion, your equal man is your brother he is not your Lord, he is not your sovereign master.
Marcus Garvey
Image
Rise up Black Men, and take your stand. Reach up black men and women and pull all nature’s knowledge to you. Turn ye around and make a conquest of everything North and South, East and West. And then we you have wrought well, you will have merited God's blessing, you will become God's chosen people and naturally you'll become leaders of the world.
Marcus Garvey
Image
Take the kinks out your mind, not your hair.
Marcus Garvey
Image
The Black skin is not a badge of shame, but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness.
Marcus Garvey
Image
I read Up From Slavery and then my dream - if I may so call it - of being a race leader dawned.
Marcus Garvey
Image
The man who is not able to develop and use his mind is bound to be the slave of the other man who uses his mind
Marcus Garvey
Image
If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started.
Marcus Garvey
Image
I pray God that we shall never use our physical prowess to oppress the human race, but we will use our strength, physically, morally and otherwise to preserve humanity and civilization.
Marcus Garvey
Image
Africa with 400 million Black People can do it. If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it then you will DIE. You race of cowards, you race of imbeciles, you race of good for-nothings, if you cannot do what other men have done, what other nations have done, what other races have done, THEN YOU HAD BETTER DIE.
