More quotes by Marcus Garvey
It is only the belief and the confidence we have in a God why man is able to understand his own social institutions, and move and live like a rational human being.
Marcus Garvey
Negro producers, Negro distributors, Negro consumers! The world of Negroes can be self contained. We desire earnestly to deal with the rest of the world, but if the rest of the world desire not, we seek not
Marcus Garvey
They subjugate first, if the weaker peoples will stand for it then exploit, and if they will not stand for SUBJUGATION nor EXPLOITATION, the other recourse is EXTERMINATION.
Marcus Garvey
Black men, you were once great you shall be great again. Lose not courage or faith, go forward.
Marcus Garvey
There shall be no solution to this race problem until you, yourselves, strike the blow for liberty.
Marcus Garvey
The pen is mightier than the sword, but the tongue is mightier than them both put together.
Marcus Garvey
It is unfortunate that we should find ourselves at this time the only disorganized group. Others have had the advantage of organization for centuries, so what seems to them unnecessary, from a racial point of view, becomes necessary to us, who have had to labor all along under the disadvantage of being scattered without a racial aim or purpose.
Marcus Garvey
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.
Marcus Garvey
The whole world is run on bluff.
Marcus Garvey
To have built up a new organization, which was not purely political, among Negroes in America was a wonderful feat, for the Negro politician does not allow any other kind of organization within his race to thrive.
Marcus Garvey
Men who are in earnest are not afraid of consequences.
Marcus Garvey
A man's bread and butter is only insured when he works for it.
Marcus Garvey
Look for me in the whirlwind or the storm, look for me all around you, for, with God's grace, I shall come and bring with me countless millions of black slaves who have died in America and the West Indies and the millions in Africa to aid you in the fight for Liberty, Freedom and Life.
Marcus Garvey
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
Chance has never yet satisfied the hope of a suffering people.
Marcus Garvey
There is nothing in the world common to man, that man cannot do.
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
The whole world is run on bluff. No race, no nation, no man has any divine right to take advantage of others. Why allow the other fellow to bluff you?
Marcus Garvey
The Black skin is not a badge of shame, but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness.
Marcus Garvey
We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery because whilst others might free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind. Mind is your only ruler, sovereign. 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
