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

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.

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

The ends you serve that are selfish will take you no further than yourself but the ends you serve that are for all, in common, will take you into eternity.

Men who are in earnest are not afraid of consequences.

I like honesty and fair play.

We must give up the silly idea of folding our hands and waiting on God to do everything for us. If God had intended for that, then he would not have given us a mind. Whatever you want in life, you must make up your mind to do it for yourself.
