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.

The Black skin is not a badge of shame, but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness.

Up, you mighty race, accomplish what you will.

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

Men who are in earnest are not afraid of consequences.

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.

I know no national boundary where the Negro is concerned. The whole world is my province until Africa is free.
