You must not mistake lip-service and noise for bravery and service.

The pen is mightier than the sword, but the tongue is mightier than them both put together.

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.

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.

Look for me in the whirlwind or the storm.

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.

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.
