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

If you have no confidence in self you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence you have won even before you have started.

Up, up, you mighty race!
You can accomplish
what you will.

Men who are in earnest are not afraid of consequences.

Lose not courage, lose not faith, go forward.
