Marcus Garvey Quotes

There shall be no solution to this race problem until you, yourselves, strike the blow for liberty.

Men who are in earnest are not afraid of consequences.

Look to Africa, for there a king will be crowned.

God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.

Chance has never yet satisfied the hope of a suffering people.
