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

Marcus Garvey
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
You may call me a Klansman if you will, but, potentially, every white man is a Klansman, as far as the Negro in competition with whites socially, economically and politically is concerned, and there is no use lying.
Marcus Garvey
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
