The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey, Or, Africa for the Africans Quotes

“There is no strength but that which is destructive, because man has lost his virtues, and only respects force, which he himself cannot counteract.”
― Marcus Garvey, Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey

“Prohibition is to abstain from intoxicating liquor, as it makes us morbid and sometimes drunk. But we get drunk every day, nevertheless, not so much by the strength of what we sip from the cup, but that which we eat, the water we drink, and the air we inhale, which at fermentation conspire at eventide to make us so drunk and tired that we lose control of ourselves and fall asleep. Everybody is a drunkard, and if we were to enforce real prohibition we should all be dead.”
