More quotes by Marcus Garvey
A man's bread and butter is only insured when he works for it.
Marcus Garvey
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
They subjugate first, if the weaker peoples will stand for it then exploit, and if they will not stand for SUBJUGATION nor EXPLOITATION, the other recourse is EXTERMINATION.
Marcus Garvey
The Black skin is not a badge of shame, but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness.
Marcus Garvey
I trust that you will so live today as to realize that you are masters of your own destiny, masters of your fate if there is anything you want in this world, it is for you to strike out with confidence and faith in self and reach for it.
Marcus Garvey
Progress is the attraction that moves humanity.
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
It is only the belief and the confidence we have in a God why man is able to understand his own social institutions, and move and live like a rational human being.
Marcus Garvey
I regard the Klan, the Anglo-Saxon clubs and White American societies, as far as the Negro is concerned, as better friends of the race than all other groups of hypocritical whites put together.
Marcus Garvey
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
The whole world is run on bluff.
Marcus Garvey
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
The only protection against INJUSTICE in man is POWER?Physical, financial and scientific.
Marcus Garvey
Look to Africa, when a black king shall be crowned for the day of deliverance is at hand!
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
When all else fails to organize the people, conditions will.
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
History teaches us no race, no people, no nation has ever been freed through cowardice, through cringing, through bowing and scraping, but all that has been achieved to the glory of mankind, to the glory and honour of races and nations was through the manly determination and effort of those who lead and those who are led.
Marcus Garvey
The pen is mightier than the sword, but the tongue is mightier than them both put together.
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.
