It is unfortunate that we should find ourselves at this time the only disorganized group.

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

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
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
God Almighty created each and every one of use for a place in the world, and for the least of us to think that we were created only to be what we are and not what we can make ourselves, is to impute an improper motive to the Creator for creating is.
Marcus Garvey
Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men.
Marcus Garvey
There is no humanity before that which starts with yourself.
Marcus Garvey
Behind the murder of millions of Negroes annually in Africa is the well organized system of exploitation by the alien intruders who desire to rob Africa of every bit of its wealth for the satisfaction of their race and the upkeep of their bankrupt European countries.
Marcus Garvey
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
The Black skin is not a badge of shame, but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness.
Marcus Garvey
Great principles, great ideals know no nationality.
Marcus Garvey
History is the land-mark by which we are directed into the true course of life.
