“You can be educated in soul, vision and feeling, as well as in mind. To see your enemy and know him is a part of the complete education of man. [...] Intelligence rules the world, ignorance carries the burden.”
“If you haven’t confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started.”

“All of us may not live to see the higher accomplishment of an African Empire - so strong and powerful, as to compel the respect of mankind, but we in our life-time can so work and act as to make the dream a possibility within another generation.”

As advocated by Garvey, let’s continue to unify, fight, and help ourselves. We deserve it.
