Intelligence rules the world, ignorance carries the burden.

The traitor of other races is generally confined to the mediocre or irresponsible individual, but, unfortunately, the traitors among the Negro race are generally to be found among the men with the highest place in education and society, the fellows who call themselves leaders.

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.

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

I have no desire to take all black people back to Africa; there are blacks who are no good here and will likewise be no good there.

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.

Up, you mighty race, accomplish what you will.
