We were the first Fascists, when we had 100,000 disciplined men, and were training children, Mussolini was still an unknown. Mussolini copied our Fascism.
Marcus Garvey

Every man has a right to his own opinion. Every race has a right to its own action therefore let no man persuade you against your will, let no other race influence you against your own.
Marcus Garvey

Fascism is the cult of organised murder , invented by the arch-enemies of society . It tends to destroy civilization and revert man to his most barbarous state. Mussolini and Hitler might well be called the devils of an age, for they are playing hell with civilization.

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.

The value of knowledge is to use it. It is not humanly possible that a person can retain all knowledge of the world, but if a person knows how to search for all the knowledge of the world, he will find it when he wants it.
Marcus Garvey

Let us not try to be the best or worst of others, but let us make the effort to be the best of ourselves.

Whatsoever things common to man, that man has done, man can do.
Marcus Garvey

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
I regard the Klan, the Anglo-Saxon clubs and White American societies, as far as the Negro is concerned, as better friends of the race than all other groups of hypocritical whites put together.
Marcus Garvey
Image
In a world of wolves one should go armed, and one of the most powerful defensive weapons within the reach of Negroes is the practice of race first in all parts of the world.
Marcus Garvey
Image
Let us prepare TODAY. For the TOMORROWS in the lives of the nations will be so eventful that Negroes everywhere will be called upon to play their part in the survival of the fittest human group.

Progress is the attraction that moves humanity.
Marcus Garvey
Image
I trust that you will so live today as to realize that you are masters of your own destiny, masters of your fate if there is anything you want in this world, it is for you to strike out with confidence and faith in self and reach for it.

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

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.
