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

Look for me in the whirlwind or the storm.

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.

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.

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.

Progress is the attraction that moves humanity.

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