More quotes by Marcus Garvey

Image
They said that the Negro had no initiative that he was not a business man, but a laborer that he had not the brain to engineer a corporation, to own and run ships that he had no knowledge of navigation, therefore the proposition was impossible. Oh! ye of little faith. The Eternal has happened.
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.
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
It is by education that we become prepared for our duties and responsibilities in life. If one is badly educated he must naturally fail in the proper assumption and practice of his duties and responsibilities.
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.

Look for me in the whirlwind or the storm.
Marcus Garvey
Image
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.

When all else fails to organize the people, conditions will.

History is the land-mark by which we are directed into the true course of life.
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
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
Image
Chance has never yet satisfied the hope of a suffering people. Action, self-reliance, the vision of self and the future have been the only means by which the oppressed have seen and realized the light of their own freedom.
Marcus Garvey
Image
Look to Africa, when a black king shall be crowned for the day of deliverance is at hand!
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
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
Wake up Ethiopia! Wake up Africa! Let us work towards the one glorious end of a free, redeemed and mighty nation. Let Africa be a bright star among the constellation of nations.

The only protection against INJUSTICE in man is POWER?Physical, financial and scientific.
Marcus Garvey
Image
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
Image
Ambition is the desire to go forward and improve one's condition. It is a burning flame that lights up the life of the individual and makes him see himself in another state. To be ambitious is to be great in mind and soul. To want that which is worth while and strive for it. To go on without looking back, reaching to that which gives satisfaction.
