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.

Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.

Black men, you were once great; you shall be great again. Lose not courage or faith, go forward.

It is unfortunate that we should find ourselves at this time the only disorganized group. Others have had the advantage of organization for centuries, so what seems to them unnecessary, from a racial point of view, becomes necessary to us, who have had to labor all along under the disadvantage of being scattered without a racial aim or purpose.

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.

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