A reading man and woman is a ready man and woman, but a writing man and woman is exact.

Look for me in the whirlwind or the storm.

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

Whatsoever things common to man, that man has done, man can do.

No race has the last word on culture and on civilization. You do not know what the black man is capable of; you do not know what he is thinking and therefore you do not know what the oppressed and suppressed Negro, by virtue of his condition and circumstance, may give to the world as a surprise.

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

Africa for the Africans... at home and abroad!
