If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life.

Black men, you were once great; you shall be great again. Lose not courage or faith, go forward.

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.

Always try to associate with people from whom you can learn something. All the knowledge that you want is in the world, and all you have to do is go and seek it.

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

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.

A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.
