Marcus Garvey quotes

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

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.

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.

Real men laugh at opposition; real men smile when enemies appear.

Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men.

Men who are in earnest are not afraid of consequences.

Africa for the Africans... at home and abroad!

There is no force like success, and that is why the individual makes all effort to surround himself throughout life with the evidence of it; as of the individual, so should it be of the nation.

Our success educationally, industrially and politically is based upon the protection of a nation founded by ourselves. And the nation can be nowhere else but in Africa.
