No more fear, no more cringing, no more sycophantic begging and pleading; but the Negro must strike straight from the shoulder for manhood rights and for full liberty. ~ Marcus Garvey

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”

“What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.”

“The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.”

“The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.”

“I may have lost someone who didn’t love me, but you lost someone who truly loves you.”

“I’m not everything I want to be, but l’m more than I was, and l’m still learning.”

“To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.”

“It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.”
