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

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

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.

We must give up the silly idea of folding our hands and waiting on God to do everything for us. If God had intended for that, then he would not have given us a mind. Whatever you want in life, you must make up your mind to do it for yourself.

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.

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

I like honesty and fair play.
