More quotes by Marcus Garvey
Intelligence rules the world, ignorance carries the burden.
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
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
Take the kinks out your mind, not your hair.
Marcus Garvey
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
There shall be no solution to this race problem until you, yourselves, strike the blow for liberty.
Marcus Garvey
Black men of Carthage, Ethiopia, of Timbuktu and Alexandria gave the likes of civilization to this world
Marcus Garvey
Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men.
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
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.
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
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
When all else fails to organize the people, conditions will.
Marcus Garvey
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
I read Up From Slavery and then my dream - if I may so call it - of being a race leader dawned.
Marcus Garvey
Black men, you were once great you shall be great again. Lose not courage or faith, go forward.
Marcus Garvey
If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started.
Marcus Garvey
The pen is mightier than the sword, but the tongue is mightier than them both put together.
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
Men who are in earnest are not afraid of consequences.
Marcus Garvey
