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

Marcus Garvey
Africa for the Africans... at home and abroad!
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
Unite all people of African ancestry of the world to one great body to establish a country and absolute government of their own.
Marcus Garvey
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.

She makes one happy, then miserable. You are to her kind, then unkind. Constant yet inconstant. Thus we have WOMAN. No real man can do without her.
Marcus Garvey
Whatsoever things common to man, that man has done, man can do.
Marcus Garvey
The Black skin is not a badge of shame, but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness.
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
A man's bread and butter is only insured when he works for 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 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
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
When all else fails to organize the people, conditions will.
Marcus Garvey
Black men of Carthage, Ethiopia, of Timbuktu and Alexandria gave the likes of civilization to this world
Marcus Garvey
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
